Philip's Atlas of the World (inbunden, eng)

Packed with the latest statistics and filled with glorious images and cartography, the Philip's RGS Atlas of the World gives a striking view of the Earth's surface and its many complexities and treasures. "This atlas brilliantly captures what a precious and impressive place we live in." Michael Palin "Beautifully put together, lavishly laid out.

In a word - sumptuous!" Tim Marshall* Following the updated World Statistics, there is a new special feature on: Living with Risk. As news reports bring accounts of wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, volcanoes and other disasters, this new feature examines what it is like to live in some of the most challenging environments on Earth.

The feature looks at the areas most prone to these events, the effects on the population and disaster risk management, with charts and statistics. * Images of Earth encapsulate the planet using satellites, with images processed exclusively for this atlas, ranging from Murmansk (Russia) and Nuuk (Greenland), in the Arctic, to Kuwait City, Hobart (Tasmania) and Namibia's fascinating Etosha National Park.

* The extensive Gazetteer of Nations has been comprehensively updated, including the latest economic and political information. * In World Geography we provide detailed studies of topics from Climate Change and weather records to reviews of Global Wealth and Standards of Living; alongside the latest unemployment, child labour and population data.

* World city plans: 70 of the world's greatest cities in 119 maps are shown in detail with locations of great public buildings and the largest museums and galleries. * In World Maps, we reflect the new networks of high-speed railways in Malaysia and India, new European highways, new international airports in Albania, Cambodia and Vietnam, as well as new national parks in the USA, Ireland and China, among others.
