• Authoritative updated mapping of the whole world.
• Geographical reference section with flags, statistics and facts for the world’s states and territories.
• Hundreds of place names updated.
• Over 25,000 index entries.

This is a complete world reference atlas in a convenient and easy-to use format, retaining the authority, style and detail of the larger atlases in the range.
