Marking the 100th anniversary of National Geographic cartography, this prestigious reference is the essential guide to understanding today's interconnected world. Illustrated maps and informational graphics chart rapidly changing global themes such as population trends, urbanization, health and longevity, human migration, climate change, communications, and the world economy. The core of any atlas is the reference mapping section and the 10th Edition boasts the largest and most comprehensive collection of political maps ever published by National Geographic. Completely updated and expanded by sixteen pages, this section features new maps of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, three detailed regional maps of Australia, expanded coverage of Africa, and a map of the strategically important area around the Mediterranean Sea, encompassing North Africa and Southern Europe. In addition, special sections are dedicated to the Oceans, Space, and Flags and Facts. These are followed by an expanded index, with more than 150,000 place names. The 10th Edition's high-quality construction and large format make it a centerpiece to gather around as well as the perfect reference tool for understanding how the present and past continually collide in today's fast-paced world.

Amazing amount of information In addition to very good and up-to-date maps, this atlas contains all sorts of extra information on populations, agriculture, climates, etc. If I am curious about a country, this is my go-to book for information. Usuall, it tells me everything I want to know.WOW THIS is an awesome atlas ! Big and heavy too , but awesome! I like looking at maps and google proves to be an excellent source of detailed maps , even of exotic and remote areas of the world but theres also nothing like opening this gorgeous book ( that almost needs its own lectern to be viewed properly , like the Bible perched atop a pulpit) and just leafing through it while your mind wanders.An excellent purchase ! Ill probably wear this book out.Beautiful! Great detail. Wonderful resource! Beautiful!!It is a tad heavy, but then again if it is going to include maps of every country in the world, then it should be.The world has changed much over the past 60 or so years. The maps I drew of Africa, as a child, bear little resemblance to the Africa of the past several decades. The USSR is gone, & now all the countries are in the National Geographic Atlas of the World. There are countries I have never even heard of!I love watching Newsroom Tokyo, it is helping me to learn about parts of the world, we in the US, know very little about.I'm slowly learning a great of what's happening on the other side of the world, & now I can find them on the map. I learned Burma is no longer, it's now called Myanmar, & I can find it in my gorgeous atlas!!Anyway, if you can handle the weight, & I agree it is substantial, maybe 9 1/2 - 10 lbs, then this atlas is just what you are looking for!With this Atlas, when I try to locate a country, or area, I can now find it, & I can actually read the font!!!Would recommend this to anyone who is interested in our ever changing world.
