The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe has provoked what may be the most extensive changes to the world map since the Treaty of Versailles ended the First World War-and has rendered current atlases obsolete. In response, the renowned cartographic firm, Bartholomew, in conjunction with the Times of London, has undertaken its most extensive atlas revision in almost a century. The result is The New York Times Atlas of the World, Third Revised Concise Edition, a beautifully designed, professional-quality reference work which will meet the exacting requirements of both geographers and more fcasual users.
The Third Revised Concise Edition will bring you thoroughly up-to-date as only the world's most distinguished cartographers and geographers can. A partial list of the changes you will find between these covers includes:
• The Soviet Union replaced by fifteen independent republics
• Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina treated as wholly independent countries
• A united Germany
• Renamed towns and cities throughout Central and Eastern Europe
• A completely revised 100,000-entry index
• Canadian railways revised
• European highways brought fully up-to-date
• New administrative divisions in Iraq
• Saudi Arabia's and Jordan's international borders with Iraq realigned
• New settlements on the West Bank between Jordan and Israel
• Kenya's redrawn boundaries with Ethiopia and the Sudan
• Outline of Aral Sea revised to reflect smaller size
• New Antarctic research stations
• City plans of Berlin, Moscow, and
St. Petersburg updated to include recent name changes Vissza
