A propos de cet article

Stunning hard-back book, quarter bound in gorgeous navy blue leather, with matching corners and cloth sides. Comes with nice boxed, slipcase. Both the slipcase and book are in excellent condition, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. The book looks like it hardly been used or read. There are two nice silk ribbon book marks that sit nicely within the book itself. Please note this fabulous atlas is a large and very heavy book, therefore postage/shipping may increase from listed price depending on final destination. This wonderful atlas is the eleventh edition, published in 2003. This eleventh edition of the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World is the latest edition of a title which has steadily evolved since the The Times first published a world atlas in 1895. That atlas was The Times Atlas, a new edition of the Cassell Universal Atlas itself an English edition of Andree's, Allgemeiner Handatlas, first published in German in 1880 by Verlag von Velhagen & Klasing of Bielefeld and Leipzig. The Atlas contained 118 pages of maps, which half referred to Europe. To replace that title, The Times Survey Atlas was commissioned from John Bartholomew & Son, the renowned Edinburgh cartographers. Preparation and planning took fifteen years and it was published in 1921. Potentially the most contentious areas of world atlas cartography are those of place names and international boundaries. Times atlases have gained a reputation for their accuracy in depicting these. In any areas of conflict, the atlas aims to represent the situation as it exists on the ground at the time of going to press. Policies on place names and boundaries are explained in the Introduction to the Atlas on page ii. The index, which contains over 200,000 place names, includes information on former and alternative names, geographical coordinates in degrees and minutes- a feature no other atlas includes to such an extent. The introductory section contains unique continental satellite images which provide a dramatic view of each continent as seen from space. Other images, including views of the Universe from the Hubble telescope, together with thematic maps, photographs, graphics and contributions from experts in many fields, illustrate a range of topics on the physical aspects of the Earth, and demographic and economic issues. Together, these present an overview of our knowledge of the natural world and man's interaction with it. All statistical information within this section has been fully revised. While retaining the authority and tradition for which Times Atlas are widely renowned, this Eleventh Edition of The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World uses technology never envisaged by the cartographers who produced the earliest editions. In doing so it presents the most comprehensive portrayal of the world available in any reference atlas. …
