THE TIMES ATLAS OFTHE WORLD COMPREHENSIVE EDITION In universities, libraries and homes throughout the world where maps are admired the depth of detail and beautiful craftsmanship of The Times A tlas of the World have long been prized as unique. Leading geographical authorities have for many decades considered it the íinest world atlas available. In a fast-changing world so authoritative an atlas must be regularly renewed and brought up to date. This latest edítion bears witness to profound changes: new roads and reservoirs, newly created provinces and administrative regions, new settlements, realigned frontiers, new states, new sources of energy, new transcription systems for non-roman alphabets; all these and more are reflected in the immense revision which the maps have undergone. Other major changes to this edition have been made: more cities on the maps have individual town plans; the preliminary section has been entirely rewritten and redesigned to take account of the very latest advances in Earth sciences, satellite technology, humán and physical geography. Every name in the index, of which there are more than 200,000, has been checked, as have the locational references and co-ordinates, and the entire index has been reset by computer. The cartography and printing are the work of the renowned Edinburgh firm of John Bartholomew & Son, who have been associated with The Times in atlas publishing since 1922. This edition of The Times Atlas will enhance and extend its reputation for unequalled standards of accuracy, beauty and detail. Vissza
