Fully revised and updated to encompass recent world events, DK's Reference World Atlas meets the challenge of providing comprehensive global mapping in an accessible format at a very competitive price.

First published in 1997 and now in its 11th edition, this extensive atlas is an invaluable reference for home, school, and office. The opening section is a fascinating introduction to our world with a series of maps that illustrate its physical, political, economic, and demographic geography.

The main section is a series of beautifully clear and concise maps that give a superb overview of the world's continents. Each page contains a wealth of extra information that helps separate this atlas from so many others, including inset maps, photographs, and text to help give a real flavor of the geography and culture of a region. New information in this edition includes everything from revised country names, such as eSwatini for Swaziland, to updated country statistics and population numbers.

Linking all of this together is a fully cross-referenced index containing 80,000 place names, making Reference World Atlas a truly in-depth portrait of our planet.
