This new edition of Philip"s Family World Atlas has been fully revised and updated. The 48 pages of politically coloured maps give a concise and balanced coverage of all the regions of the world, giving extra prominence to densely populated and economically important countries.The use of political colours on the maps helps to emphasize individual countries and placenames rather than landforms, using bright, distinctive colours to make identification easier.A special feature of Philip"s Family World Atlas is the 6-page "City Maps" section, including detailed city-centre maps of Amsterdam, Athens, Bangkok, Berlin, Brussels, Delhi, Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Mexico City, Mumbai, New York, Paris, Prague, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo, with streets and tourist sites clearly marked.At the end of the atlas, the 9-page letter-figure index lists all major towns and cities, plus geographical features such as mountains, rivers and lakes.This practical, easy-to-use atlas is ideal for use at home, in the office or by students, at a very affordable price.
