The Great World Atlas

This atlas is both a portrait of the Earth today and a source of reference. It includes large-scale maps of all the world's regions, including nine gatefold maps. Cloud-free satellite images accompany each map at the same scale, allowing comparison between two views of the world. Satellite images are enhanced by larger-scale photographs of geographic features. Each map is complemented by at-a-glance maps, terrain models and place-finders. The volume is also packed with detailed information on key topics, including industry, natural resources, agriculture and communications.
