Synopsis

This atlas presents the reader with two entirely different views of the world on each map spread. On each the left hand page has a satellite map created from images captured by satellite, 800 kilometres above the earth. The right hand page carries a political map of the same area, on which the earth's human infrastructure of cities and towns and communication networks is shown. This approach permits a direct comparison between the built environment and the underlying topography, but allowing more detail to be shown on the two maps than can normally be shown in a conventional map where the two elements are superimposed.
