Description

In addition, more than 320 documentary photographs, battlefield sketches, paintings, and artifacts bear eyewitness testimony to the war, history’s first to be widely captured on film. Created for all global citizens, this universally respected volume of world maps has been completely revised and updated with fascinating visualizations of international trends and global conditions. From the Antebellum South to Fort Sumter, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the fitful peace of Reconstruction, National Geographic’s Atlas of the Civil War displays eye-opening maps—and a gripping, self-contained story—on every spread. A beautifully illustrated section on current issues, including climate change, economy and energy, and a new section on the power of maps. Webb and Beaumont also offer a fascinating history of beer and an in-depth look at the science and art of beermaking.

Selected by an international panel of curators, academics and collectors, the maps reflect the many reasons people make maps, such as to find their way, to assert ownership, to record human activity, to establish control, to encourage settlement, to plan military campaigns or to show political power. The book’s unique arrangement, with the maps organized in complimentary or contrasting pairs, reveals how the history of our attempts to make flat representations of the world has been full of beauty, ingenuity and innovation. Spreads depict everything from hunting in Africa in 10,000 BC to the kingdoms of Southeast Asia in the earliest years of the millennium, the decline of the Byzantine Empire, the growth of the Atlantic economies in the 18th century, and standards of living since 1945.Having done some work in the late nineties with the National Geographic Society for certification with them as a Geography consultant, I was gifted a beautiful set of a variety of atlases, one that was huge and much loved. Those have long since been worn out in the classroom. One feature that I liked most about their atlases was the inclusion of charts, maps, and graphs that represent sociological, climate, and world trends, as well as some essays on features of the people of Earth and their distribution around the globe. They do this very well. This “National Geographic Concise Atlas of the World” contains many resources that I did not expect. It begins with a description of the Atlas, followed by maps of the physical and political worlds and the Ocean Floor. It then defines the limits of the oceans and seas and provides polar projections. It then goes into a series of articles and images introducing the structure of the earth, the forces that sculpt it, land types, the distribution of fresh water, climate, diversity of life and changes being observed. Description: It is perhaps the eighth wonder of our world that despite modern mapping and satellite photography our planet continues to surprise us. With stunning full-color maps and an air of mysterious adventure, Atlas of Remote Island is perfect for the traveler or romantic in all of us.

Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee per day, equivalent to 146 billion cups of coffee per year, making the United States the leading consumer of coffee in the world. The World Atlas of Coffee is an excellent choice for these coffee lovers. Author Judith Schalansky used historic events and scientific reports as a springboard for each island, providing information on its distance from the mainland, whether its inhabited, its features, and the stories that have shaped its lore.

Success!

Addition of Brussel as alternative local name form for Bruxelles (Brussels) as city is officially bilingual. Now shown as Brussel/Bruxelles. As the Island of Dolls and the hauntingly titled Door to Hell – an inextinguishable fire pit – attest, mystery is never far away. The truths and myths behind their creation are as varied as the destinations themselves. Equally well-suited for a general audience and students of history or international relations, the Atlas of World History continues Oxford’s presence as the premier publisher of world atlases. Explores common themes of urban development, from transport and communication to lifestyle and culture

Our Mission In Action

Many of the maps are beautiful works of art in their own right. From Europe to the Americas, Africa to Asia, north to south, there are maps of oceans and continents charted by heroic adventurers sailing into the unknown, as accounts spread of new discoveries, shadowy continents begin to appear n the margins of the world, often labeled ‘unknown lands.’ Realignment of the international boundary between Burkina Faso and Niger resulting from the International Court of Justice decision. Features core case studies of particular types of cities, from the foundational cities of Greece and Rome to the “smart” cities of today Not earthbound, this Atlas extends into space with sections on the Moon, Inner and Outer Solar Systems and the Milky Way.

Each chapter explores a particular type of city–from the foundational cities of Greece and Rome and the networked cities of the Hanseatic League, through the nineteenth-century modernization of Paris and the industrialization of Manchester, to the green and “smart” cities of today.

Historical World Atlases

Updated national parks and conserved areas including the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA), the largest conservation zone in the world. In Atlas of Lost Cities, Aude de Tocqueville tells the compelling narrative of the rise and fall of such notable places as Pompeii, Teotihuacán, and Angkor. She also details the less well known places, including Centralia, an abandoned Pennsylvania town consumed by unquenchable underground fire; Nova Citas de Kilamba in Angola, where housing, schools, and stores were built for 500,000 people who never came; and Epecuen, a tourist town in Argentina that was swallowed up by water.
