Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Maps in this atlas are similar to those in National Geographic Family Reference Atlas of the World (2d ed., 2007) but larger, often covering double-page spreads (with some gutter loss). On the other hand, there are many fewer maps. For Europe, for example, there are one physical and one political map for the entire continent, plus some thematic maps, but no regional or national maps showing individual countries in more detail. Introductory material includes sections on climate, religion, trade, and other topics. An appendix shows average temperatures and rainfall for selected locations. --Mary Ellen Quinn
Product Description
National Geographic Concise Atlas of the World was recognized by the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping in the annual map design competition as the best in the atlas/book category. Now, the Second Edition—with more than 3,000 updates, 32 new pages of expanded content, and 500 maps, charts, graphs, flags, and illustrations—is the ultimate geographic reference for every home, office and classroom.
The atlas opens with beautifully rendered, up-to-date, thoroughly indexed, political and physical maps of the world. Satellite mosaics depict the Earth from hundreds of miles above. World thematic maps follow, presenting plate tectonics, climate and weather, oceans, population, religion, energy, and the economy. Health and education, environmental stress, and conflict and terror are also covered, providing a review of the increasingly complex issues we face today.
Informative, intriguing, and accessible, National Geographic Concise Atlas of the World visually portrays important aspects of the world in a way only maps can. Full-color physical and land cover maps enhance and enrich readers' understanding of the Earth's natural features. New continental maps cover water availability and natural events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. Country profiles provide national flags and valuable facts for all 193 independent nations of the world.
