With 128 pages of authoritative world mapping, a comprehensive index, and a handsomely illustrated introduction to world geography - the Earth in Space - this atlas is highly recommended both for home reference and as a gift. The 128 pages of physical maps give a balance coverage of the world at well-chosen scales. Highly detailed, they have been acclaimed by the Daily Mail as 'clearer than The Times'.
