The top range authoritative and accurate atlas in a protective slipcase fully updated with extra information next to each colourful map. Fourth edition August 2019, it includes detailed up-to-date reference mapping on Population, Politics with statistics, and historical maps like the Chinese Empire and Japan in this publication which has evolved since The Times first published a World Atlas in 1895. Commissioned by John Bartholomew & Son, the renowned Edinburgh cartographers, production took 15 years and had 112 map plates. With many revisions between 1955 and 1960, this present edition has been resigned to give a less Euro-centric view and a more balanced view of the world and revised to reflect the latest geopolitical changes. The introductory section combines unique continental satellite images, dramatic views of the universe, thematic maps, photographs, graphics and contributions from experts in many fields and the maps themselves are simply stunning, in colour and with varying scales, island insets, city plans and administrative divisions. Over 50,000 index entries, 26.7 x 31.75cm, 320pp, slipcased and at a bargain price for the first time.
