Atlases & Maps

This major atlas has been based on the Peters Project, a new approach to cartography which covers the entire world on the same scale, unlike former atlases which had a European bias. True sizes and areas can now be compared for countries in all parts of the globe. The atlas contains maps which show topographical, political and vegetation information based on the latest satellite technology. Over 200 additional thematic maps survey the Earth's social, economic, cultural and anthropological make-up.

<p>This atlas corrects our misconceptions of the geography of the planet. Based on the revolutionary Peters Projection, each double-page spread shows one sixtieth of the Earth's surface presenting an astronaut's eye view. The use of colour and relief intensifies the green jungles, the brown deserts and the brown mountains and the 246 thematic maps cover subjects such as: global rainfall, birth control, marriage, weather, the status of women, employment and military strength.</p>
