The Times Desktop Atlas of the World

The Times Desktop Atlas of the World is a complete world reference atlas in a convenient and easy to use format, retaining the authority, style and detail of the larger Times atlases. This new edition of the Times Desktop Atlas of the World has been fully revised to bring all the maps and geographical information completely up-to-date. As with all the atlases in the Times range it offers great authority, outstanding quality and attention to detail.

Detailed up-to-date maps in the distinctive and respected Times style provide balanced, systematic coverage of all parts of the world. Each continent is introduced by a political map showing individual countries, followed by regional maps showing towns and cities, roads, railways, international boundaries and topography. The introductory section covers major world geographical themes -- from earthquakes and volcanoes to population growth, communications and climate change -- giving a global snapshot of our contemporary world.
