The 48-page "Introductionto World Geography" is beautifully illustrated with tables and graphs on numerous topics of geographic significance, such as climate change, world religions, employment, industry, and a new 2-page feature on the state of world migration and the plight of refugees, illustrated with maps, graphs,diagrams, and photographs. The hundreds of city and world maps that form the body of the Atlas have been thoroughly updated for this 26th edition.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.
