DK Reference Atlas of the World (2nd ed)

Completely revised and updated, this atlas offers an encyclopaedic treatment of the world.

The latest digital mapping techniques have been used to create maps that present a precise and accurate rendition of the Earth's surface.

The atlas includes: regional surveys and maps, including "at-a-glance" maps which provide a picture of each region's industrial activities, communications infastructure; computer-generated 3D terrain models of the physical geography of each region; diagrams of key features such as population distribution; and global and continental overviews of the physical, political, economic and demographic geography of the world.

The atlas also includes a special 24-page section on the British Isles.
