The New YorkMoreTen years ago, the first edition of Oxfords Atlas of the World was met with praise for the incredible beauty and accuracy of its maps as well as for its wealth of geographic data, and it only collects more accolades with each edition. The New York Times Book Review called it a veritable encyclopedia of geographic and demographic information, profusely illustrated with multicolored maps and graphs, and Library Journal exclaimed that the newest edition was a splendid achievement in geographical reference. The additions and improvements continue with an 11th Edition that boasts several new features. A Glossary of Geographical Terms has been added, as well as the latest statistics that are collected in the colorful Introduction to World Geography section. The overall precision and clarity of the entire book has been enhanced with redesigned map spreads, and the 11th Edition also highlights several key Regions in the News, keeping the atlas in step with current events. Laden with outstanding cartography, a revised Gazetteer of Countries, and nearly 70 sharp maps of the major cities on each continent, the Atlas also bears the distinction of being the only one of its kind that is updated annually to reflect the changing world around us. The recent dissolution of Yugoslavia, changes to provinces in Indonesia, refined name forms in Africa, alterations to administrative areas in Russia and Ethiopia, and dozens of other upgrades make this the most reliable atlas on the market. Providing the finest global coverage available, the Atlas of the World sets the standard for international atlases, living up to its reputation.
