Product Description:
Oxford's Atlas of the World is the most authoritative resource on the market. The Fifteenth Edition remains the finest international reference source of its kind available. Including a free world wall map in every volume, updated census information, dozens of city maps, a gazetteer of nations, gorgeous satellite images of Earth, and a geographical glossary, this atlas offers exceptional value at a reasonable price.
Full of crisp, clear cartography of urban areas and virtually uninhabited landscapes around the globe, the Atlas has maps of 69 cities and nearly 100 different regions at carefully selected scales to give a striking view of the Earth's surface. Opening with world statistics and then a colorful, instructive 48-page Introduction to World Geography--beautifully illustrated with tables and graphs--this acclaimed resource provides details on such topics as climate, the greenhouse effect, plate tectonics, agriculture, population and migration, and global conflicts.
As in years past, this edition includes the latest geographic information: a new flag for Iraq, the addition of the Republic of Kosovo to the map of Europe, a new region in Senegal and two provinces in the Philippines, plus the appearance of the world's newest landmass, Warming Island, revealed by the melting Greenland ice sheet. Current census statistics also help to illustrate tables showing the population of world countries and cities and the popular satellite image section has been refreshed with stunning new images of different regions and urban areas.
Providing the finest global coverage available, the Atlas of the World is not only the best-selling volume of its size and price, but also the benchmark by which all other atlases are measured.
*Promotional world wall map included with every copy
*Interior pages designed for heightened accuracy and ease of use
*Detailed city plans and country profiles make it the ultimate geographic reference
"An indispensable reference."

- More than an atlas
This book is definately more than an atlas. It is a great resource book with information about countries, flags, great maps and phenomenal pictures from space. Our family needed a new atlas as ours was greatly outdated. This is a must book for your family library.
Rating: - Fantastic Atlas
The Oxford World Atlas exceeded my expectations by a whole lot. For the price, I could have expected a lot less. If there is anything you want to know about any country in the world, it will be in this atlas.
Rating: - Good product

- A good choice for an Atlas, but...
My third-grader had been using my 35-year-old Hammond Atlas - and, as hard as it is for me to believe, some of those places no longer exist... Some countries, like the USSR for example, have been carved up a bit.Some new names now apply as well.
This Atlas is among the most up-to-date available - perhaps its strongest point.But as good as it is there are some things that could have been better.Another reviewer mentioned the small print - not a big deal for my eight-year-old - but ... Read More
