Times atlases are universally recognised as the world's most prestigious and authoritative reference atlases and have provided the most detailed and accurate representation of the world since 1895. This new edition of The Times Atlas of the World Reference Edition continues this tradition with detailed and beautifully created mapping representing the perfect blend of accuracy, authority and style which sets Times atlases apart.

All the maps have been completely revised and provide accurate and detailed coverage of the whole world. The introductory section has also been fully updated to present a portrait of today's world and major geographical themes. It includes satellite images of the continents, revised plans of forty-six of the world's major cities, and information on earthquakes and volcanoes, climate and land cover, population and cities, and telecommunications. A detailed guide to the world's states and territories is also provided, which includes country profiles, flags and key statistics.
