Times Atlas of the World Reviews
"I have just received my new Atlas (in super quick time might I add) and it's a fabulous book if you want something for every day reference. The first section has beautifully printed maps dating from c.1890 to the 1980s, to give you an idea of where boundaries laid and political stances. As well as excellent maps of the present day, it has detailed maps of major cities such as London, New York, Paris etc. so it would even be handy if you were planning a holiday! An excellent buy and suitable for all the family with a easy to read index. Highly recommended!"
"excellent book good detail of the world plus lots more information the best atlas ive ever had."
"Ordered from the Netherlands, chosen the "slow" delivery, and received after 3 days. Great service and I enjoy my Atlas."

"Naming newly-founded settlements after home towns was a common practice by British settlers arriving in far-off continents and has proved to be one of the most enduring geographical legacies of Britain's former overseas presence."
