Special Feature: The History of the World

The comprehensive edition of Philip's world reference mapping, this superb atlas contains Philip's finest maps at the largest scales available, together with urban area maps of the world's most important cities, a survey of world geography and a detailed index. Fully revised and up to date, the 176 pages of physical and political maps have been carefully selected to provide balanced coverage of the continents. Throughout the atlas, scales and projections have been chosen to maximise legibility and minimise distortion over the largest regions.

For this Millennium Edition, the atlas has been specially extended to include a 20-page section highlighting 'The History of the World' - successfully combining history and geography, and providing you with a fascinating and visually exciting picture of historical events and their impact on today's world.

Philip's physical maps combine relief shading with layer-coloured contours to give a stunning visual impression of the Earth surface, while charting physical features, settlements and communications with meticulous accuracy.

Completing the atlas are an informative 48-page Introduction to World Geography, with maps, charts, graphs and diagrams explaining the Solar System, the Earth geology and landforms, climate, the environment, population, resources, standards of living, trade and tourism; 66 urban area maps of the world's largest and most important cities; a map highlighting key regions currently in the news, including the former Yugoslavia and Kosovo, the Near East, Congo and its neighbours, Iraq's no-fly zone, and the eruoland countries; and an index of 75,000 names providing full latitude and longitude co-ordinates as well as letter-figure grid references.

One of the finest atlases available anywhere in the world, this is a serious reference work for library, business, college and home use.
