The Picture Atlas of the World

This picture atlas covers every continent and country in pictorial detail, and includes all the world's newest nations. Three-dimensional maps show not only mountains, rivers, volcanoes, geysers, and glaciers, but also great buildings, places of interest, people, animals, food, and national sports. Each map is supported by boxed features giving fascinating facts about the countries, accompanied by colour photographs highlighting some aspect of the scenery or wildlife. The national flags of every country in the world are included, as well as special illustrated features on capital cities and national wonders such as the Taj Mahal.
