Combining the latest cartographic information with state-of-the-art computerized terrain modeling, the Concise World Atlas shows you exactly what the world looks like today.
Twelve global maps provide an overview of the physical, political, demographic and cultural geography of the world. Every country within every continent is shown in its entirety, with large countries such as the United States and the Russian Federation in greater regional detail.
The extensive index lists, defines and locates each of the 20,000 places named on the maps, so it's easy to identify a particular city, region or feature. An essential fact profile is also provided for each country.
For readers with an interest in the world around them, the Concise World Atlas provides an authorative reference for school, business, travel and the home.
