Atlas of the World 16th Edition With the pace of change accelerating ever more rapidly each year--in population, climate, national borders, and many other areas--an out-of-date atlas can present a markedly inaccurate view of the world. Oxford's Atlas of the World is the only atlas of its type to be updated annually, offering the most current statistics, maps, images, and global information available today. The
Sixteenth Edition
remains the finest international reference source of its kind available.
Including a free world wall map in every volume, updated census
information, dozens of city maps, a gazetteer of nations, gorgeous
satellite images of Earth, and a geographical glossary, this atlas
offers exceptional value at a reasonable price. |

Full of crisp, clear cartography of urban
areas and virtually uninhabited landscapes around the globe, the Atlas
has maps of 69 cities and nearly 100 different regions at carefully
selected scales to give a striking view of the Earth's surface. Opening with world statistics and then a
colorful, instructive 48-page Introduction to World
Geography--beautifully illustrated with tables and graphs--this
acclaimed resource provides details on such topics as climate, the
greenhouse effect, plate tectonics, agriculture, population and
migration, and global conflicts. As in years past, this edition includes
the latest geographic information: a new flag for Iraq, the addition of
the Republic of Kosovo to the map of Europe, a new region in Senegal and
two provinces in the Philippines, plus,
as premiered in the 14th Edition, the appearance of the world's
newest landmass, Warming Island, revealed by the melting Greenland ice
sheet. Fully updated to reflect the changing world around us, the Atlas of the World has become the benchmark by which all other atlases are measured. |
