Times Atlas of the World Reviews
"Having used previous editions of this atlas, this one surpasses all for the excellent amount of information provided."
"If you're looking for World information and haven't the opportunity to go to the National Library - then this terrific book is your next opportunity..."
First published in 1895, the Times Atlas of the World is now a global bestseller--last year, the concise edition sold more than 5,000 copies in the UK alone, and the atlases are used by everyone from the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to NATO and the UN.
The latest Times Concise, out this month, uses different projections for world maps or magnified regions, to try and make them as definitive as possible. It is updated with new and controversial structures - Tibet's 1,118km-long new railway; the Three Gorges Dam in China (with the 100 drowned settlements scrubbed out); France's ambitious Millau bridge.
"When I first bought this book I thought it would just take space on the shelf but it proved to be a real treasure packed with information on various issues such as geography, geology, world population,astronomy etc. It is very well illustrated with clear pictures, accurate and informative maps. Its size, or rather its weight, has not put me off flipping through its pages. It's a book for people who want to explore and familiarise themselves with the World we live in."
"I bought the Atlas because it interested me but when I got it home and looked though it, I found out that it was fantastic, full of detail. Well worth every penny."
"This Atlas is truly fantastic. It contains very detailed maps, all of the pages are up to date, detailed stats including future climate in the (2080s) and the population graphs are all up to date. It also includes detailed maps of cities and a very, very detailed index. For me It's all I ever wanted."
