Reference World Atlas

An Encyclopedia in an Atlas



The latest edition of DK's ultimate large-format reference atlas.


Packed with more than 640 high-definition maps and over 950 illustrations and diagrams, this is the ultimate world atlas.

Fully revised and updated edition to encompass recent world events, this extensive atlas is an invaluable reference for home, school, and office.

The opening section provides a fascinating introduction to our world with a series of maps that illustrate its physical, political, economic, and demographic geography. The main section is a series of beautifully clear and concise maps that give a superb overview of the world's continents. Each page contains a wealth of extra information that helps to separate this atlas from so many others, including inset maps, photographs, and text to help give a real flavour of the geography and culture of a region.

New information in this edition includes everything from revised country names, such as Eswatini for Swaziland, to updated country statistics and population numbers. This indispensable guide also links all of this together with a fully cross-referenced index containing 80,000 place names.

A welcome addition to any school or family library, Reference World Atlas is a truly in-depth portrait of our planet today.
