Product Details
- For more than three decades, The Times Atlas of the World has earned international renown for the beauty and legibility of its mapping and its unparalleled detail for coverage of all parts of the globe. As Lord Shackleton, former president of the Royal Geographical Society, said of an earlier edition, it is the finest reference atlas ever published. Now, The Times Atlas of the World, Tenth Comprehensive Edition, the first completely revised edition since The Times Atlas of the World debuted in 1967, establishes an even higher standard among all reference atlases, and a new benchmark in its own unparalleled tradition. The Tenth Comprehensive Edition opens with stunning satellite images of the continents and the oceans as they appear from space. This preliminary section continues with a series of graphics, photographs, maps, tables, and charts reviewing the cosmos, the natural world, and humanity's interaction with our home planet. Next is a comparative list of Earth's physical features, from rivers to mountains to islands to deserts, and a complete statistical guide to the states and territories of the world. This opening section concludes with a fascinating chronicle on the evolution of world mapping, beginning with our first attempt to map the world more than a thousand years ago. The central section of The Tenth Comprehensive Edition, with 248 pages of breathtakingly detailed reference maps, provides the most accurate and up-to-date visual presentation of geographical knowledge in any atlas today. Each map, drawn with generous scale and projection, has been entirely redesigned since the last edition, using the latest digital technology. While creating maps of optimum accuracy, these new methods also provide enhanced clarity and greater legibility than ever before, even for an atlas that was already legendary for the readability of its maps. In addition to recording the new states and republics created by political upheaval in this last decade before the millennium, The Tenth Comprehensive Edition includes a multitude of renamed towns and cities, along with many revised national borders. The revised and expanded index, covering more than 200,000 place names, is the largest index ever found in a single-volume atlas, virtually ensuring that any location a reader may be looking for will be included in the book. The index is also unique in scope, giving the name, description, regional and country locations, the map grid reference, page number, and latitude and longitude. No other atlas comes close to providing such an index, either in sheer numbers or in reference value.In the last three decades, The Times Atlas of the World has been in the vanguard of a revolution in the science of cartography, replacing maps formerly created on hand-etched copper plates with maps that are computer-generated. The Times Atlas of the World, Tenth Comprehensive Edition, represents the fullest flowering yet of this remarkable revolution in cartography. It is the finest atlas ever published, sure to be treasured by students, scholars, armchair travelers, global sightseers, and anyone seeking better understanding of our dynamic planet.

Atlases & Gazetteers Editorial Review
The Times Atlas of the World: 10th Comprehensive Edition has received a largely positive reception from its users, particularly for its remarkable aesthetics and impressive detail. Many reviewers appreciate the atlas for being both a beautiful addition to any bookshelf and a practical resource for engaging with geography. Families, especially, have noted that the atlas serves as an excellent learning tool for children, enhancing their understanding of the world through physical maps. While the atlas showcases breathtaking artistic representations of physical maps, some users have raised concerns about its practical utility. A recurring critique is the tendency for the new edition to prioritize beauty over functionality. Many reviewers have pointed out that the color choices in the 10th edition, although visually striking, detract from the clarity required for practical navigation of topographical details. For instance, the lack of high contrast between elevation intervals can make it challenging to discern important geographical features without additional aids. Feedback regarding the thematic sections of the atlas suggests that while they include interesting visual data, they often lack the depth of commentary that would provide context and enhance understanding. This proclivity for politically oriented content, rather than emphasizing physical geography, has left some enthusiasts wishing for different or additional thematic maps that used to be included in earlier editions. Despite these criticisms regarding usability and thematic depth, the overall sentiment is that the 10th Comprehensive Edition stands as an unparalleled visual treat. Its extensive index with over 220,000 entries secures its place as a go-to reference for map enthusiasts, even as it may not suffice for those seeking more operational atlases. **
