As with all the atlases in the Times range it offers great authority, outstanding quality and attention to detail.

Detailed up-to-date maps in the distinctive and respected Times style provide balanced, systematic coverage of all parts of the world. Each continent is introduced by a political map showing individual countries, followed by regional maps showing towns and cities, roads, railways, international boundaries and topography. The introductory section covers major world geographical themes -- from earthquakes and volcanoes to population growth, communications and climate change -- giving a global snapshot of our contemporary world.
