This new edition of the popular 'Philip's Family World Atlas' has been fully revised for 2007. Includes 48 pages of politically coloured maps, which give a concise and balanced coverage of all the regions of the world, with extra prominence given to densely populated and economically important countries. The use of bright, distinctive colours on these maps help to emphasize individual countries and place-names rather than landforms, and make identification easier. A special feature of this atlas is the 6-page 'City Maps' section, including detailed city-centre maps of Amsterdam, Athens, Bangkok, Berlin, Brussels, Delhi, Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Mexico City, Mumbai, New York, Paris, Prague, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. The 9-page index lists all major towns and cities, plus geographical features such as mountains, rivers and lakes.
