This atlas gives a new perspective on how the world is made up, how it looks and how it works. It is a useful reference atlas providing a collection of images depicting the nature of the Earth. It presents new ways of visualizing the Earth through the use of maps, satellite images, space and aerial photography, three-dimensional terrain models and graphics. The information is presented in continental sections with the mapping for each continent introduced by a series of highly illustrated thematic spreads. These include detailed statistics and flags of all countries and territories, and cover such topics as landscapes and land use, climate and weather, population, cities and specific environmental and geographical issues.
