This Philip's world atlas is ideal for all kinds of travellers. 96 pages of maps are politically-coloured to emphasize countries, towns and cities, as well as major transport routes and administrative boundaries. A thematic section is included with maps, texts and statistics covering topics such as population, time zones, major air routes, climate, wealth and international organizations. A concise country gazetteer gives details of the world's most notable countries, with useful information about currencies, languages and national governments. At the end of the atlas, the 24-page letter-figure index lists all major towns and cities, plus numerous geographical features such as mountains, rivers and lakes.
