Philip's Pocket Travel Atlas is a small-format hardback, packed with detail for the regular or long-distance traveller. The 96 pages of up-to-date maps are physically coloured to give a visual impression of the Earth's surface, with cities and towns, as well as major transport routes and administrative boundaries, clearly shown. The detailed travel information section includes population statistics and maps showing time zones, flight paths and world climate, together with city-centre plans for 24 of the world's most visited cities, arranged in alphabetical order. In addition, a concise Gazetteer of Nations provides up-to-date information for 150 of the world's countries, with key facts on currencies, languages and governments, plus current medical and travel advice. At the end of the atlas, the 64-page letter-figure index lists all major towns and cities, plus numerous geographical features such as mountains, deserts, rivers and lakes. This compact atlas is ideal for business travellers, gap-year students, cruise-line passengers or anyone else visiting a number of countries.
