With this publication, Istituto Geografico De Agostini rises once again to the challenges of the modern world, reaffirming its commitment to spread geographical culture, the cornerstone on which all of its publishing works throughout its history have been based, always keeping a strong leadership both in Italy and abroad. A work, in its 18th edition, that reconfirms the long and outstanding 100-year scientific tradition and technical quality of the Italian Cartographic Publisher, thanks to the fully updated contents, extensive additions, and complete mapping coverage. SELLING POINTS: A new international world atlas, fully derived from a geographical information system and now proposed in the English-language version, relaunched and renewed, from the graphics, which now depicts accurate relief on each map, to the introduction of original mapping sections and features. A fully updated publication which already includes, for instance, the 195th country of the world officially recognized (South Sudan) or the latest world population data, revised to correspond to official sources and recognised international guidelines, such as that of preferring the use of local forms for place names. The territory of Europe as you have never seen it before, illustrated through a series of 1:1,000,000 scale large maps. In a world where no corner seems to have been left unexplored, the newly-added Maps of the Oceans restore a sense of discovery. Illustrated
