"In the modern world, in which thousands of people are dying every hour as a consequence of politics, no writing anywhere can begin to be credible unless it is informed by political awareness and principles. Writers who have neither product utopian trash."
- John Berger

| |  | | | From The Publisher
Unrivaled in its clarity, accuracy, and comprehensiveness, the Dorling Kindersley World Atlas is the ultimate atlas for homes, businesses, schools, and libraries.
The Dorling Kindersley World Atlas takes you on an unparalleled journey around the globe. More than 450 maps created especially for this book show you exactly what the world really looks like today. The Second Edition of this bestselling atlas includes complete revision and updating of all the maps and a new geographical comparisons section.
Authoritative and easy to use, the Dorling Kindersley World Atlas opens with twelve magnificent double-page spreads that give a global overview of the physical and human world as it is today. Each continent is then surveyed in detail, with maps describing the continent's physical landscape, political and cultural makeup, and the distribution of resources and economic activity.
Maps with unmatched detail. At the heart of the atlas are the regional pages, which combine high-quality mapping with photography, diagrams and landscape models — all fully explained in detailed text and captions — to provide an encyclopedic guide to the world in which we live. Major areas of the world are shown in unprecedented detail on eight fold-out maps. Computer-generated models of the landscape give an enhanced view of the physical structure of each region. At-a-glance maps spotlight interesting aspects of the area covered, such as regional divisions, key economic activities, land use, and agriculture. The stunning color photographs on each spread convey the essence of landscape and nature of each region.
Comprehensive Index-Gazetteer. All 80,000 geographical names on the maps are listed in the Index-Gazetteer, complete with page and grid reference. Each place name and geographical feature is defined and located with a brief description, easy-to-read symbols, and alternative names and spellings. Essential information on all the world's countries is provided in the Countries Gazetteer, while the glossary provides explanations and definitions of the technical geographical terms that are used in the atlas.
