This new edition of 'Philip's Family World Atlas' has been fully revised for 2006 and shows the new names for Pretoria (Tshwane) and Durban (eThekwini) in South Africa. The 48 pages of politically coloured maps give a concise and balanced coverage of all the regions of the world, giving extra prominence to densely populated and economically important countries. The use of political colours on the maps helps to emphasize individual countries and place-names rather than landforms, using bright, distinctive colours to make identification easier. A special feature of this atlas is the 6-page 'City Maps' section, including detailed city-centre maps of Amsterdam, Athens, Bangkok, Berlin, Brussels, Delhi, Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Mexico City, Mumbai, New York, Paris, Prague, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.
At the end of the atlas, the 9-page letter-figure index lists all major towns and cities, plus geographical features such as mountains, rivers and lakes. This practical, easy-to-use atlas is ideal for use at home, in the office or by students, at a very affordable price.
