The Times comprehensive atlas of the world

Maps of countries (and some city maps) with latitude and longitude center points for each place. Also contains satellite images of the continents and the oceans as they appear from space, and a section with a series of graphics, photographs, maps, tables, and charts reviewing the cosmos, the natural world, and humanity's interaction with our home planet. Provides a 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. Includes a chronicle on the evolution of world mapping, beginning with our first attempt to map the world more than a thousand years ago. 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.
