This beautiful glossy-paged atlas begins with some 220 pages of world maps providing information on geopolitics, climate, geology, biogeography, demography and other social indicators, economic activity, and industry, commerce and transport. The rest of its 350 pages are devoted to nations of the five continents. Each nation shows a flag and the country's location within the continent and proceeds with a textual overview, a large and easy to read map, and graphic features showing such items as population, GDP, literacy, per capita income, unemployment, land use, imports and exports, vegetation, ecosystems, and more. Of especial interest are the maps of the oceans where land remains nameless. In all there are 300 satellite images and reference maps, 400 thematic maps of physical, political, and economic features, 500 thematic country maps, 1,700 graphs and an index of place names with 60,000 entries.
