Description: Now in its 7th Edition, Compact World Atlas provides a fascinating insight into the world in which we live. Featuring DK's outstanding cartography and design, this fully revised edition has been updated to reflect recent geopolitical changes, such as the new nation of South Sudan, the annexation of Crimea, the Inuit place names in Canada and the populations of Chinese towns. With 65 clear, easy-to-read maps, this atlas combines improved visual landscape modelling with key roads, railways, rivers and settlements. Learn more about each of the world's 196 nations, with an accompanying factfile which provides an insight into even the most remote of countries.
