Description:
Providing the finest global coverage available, the Atlas of the World is not only the best-selling volume of its size and price, but also the benchmark by which all other atlases are measured.

The Sixteenth Edition remains the finest international reference source of its kind available. Including a free world wall map in every volume, updated census information, dozens of city maps, a gazetteer of nations, gorgeous satellite images of Earth, and a geographical glossary, this atlas offers exceptional value at a reasonable price.

Full of crisp, clear cartography of urban areas and virtually uninhabited landscapes around the globe, the Atlas has maps of 69 cities and nearly 100 different regions at carefully selected scales to give a striking view of the Earth's surface.

Opening with world statistics and then a colorful, instructive 48-page Introduction to World Geography—beautifully illustrated with tables and graphs—this acclaimed resource provides details on such topics as climate, the greenhouse effect, plate tectonics, agriculture, population and migration, and global conflicts.

Current census statistics also help to illustrate tables showing the population of world countries and cities and the popular satellite image section has been refreshed with stunning new images of different regions and urban areas.

Several features further enhance the 16th edition:
  • Promotional world wall map included with every copy (46" x 34").
  • A completely updated Gazetteer of Nations provides an invaluable A-Z reference of concise country profiles, including statistics on economies, politics, and historical profiles.
  • Interior pages designed for heightened accuracy and ease of use.
  • A comprehensive index of 84,000 historical names, geographic features, and cities with full latitude and longitude coordinates along with letter-figure grid references.
When Oxford's Atlas of the World debuted, it was widely praised for the incredible beauty and accuracy of its maps and for its wealth of geographical information. It remains the finest top-of-the-line atlas available, with hundreds of dramatic full-color, large-format maps and a host of gorgeous satellite photography.
"This authoritative volume is the standard by which others will be measured." – The Boston Herald
"A veritable encyclopedia of geographic and demographic information, profusely illustrated. Extraordinary." – The New York Times
