Positioned at the top of Oxford's atlas range, this impressive
volume incorporates a wealth of large-scale North American maps
plus a substantial number of completely new topographical maps of
Asia and the Pacific where public interest is increasingly focused.
Building on the strength and integrity of its smaller predecessor,
the Deluxe Edition nearly triples the amount of salient
statistical data that can be quickly looked up, and brings the
total number of city maps of key urban centers to 100. Another 102
pages of geopolitical maps (making 278 in all) fill out the
book, giving the atlas an edge over the competition and placing it
at the forefront of geographic reference.
More compact than the leading competition, the
Deluxe Edition is published in a durable, protective slip-case that
adds to the life of the book and makes storage more convenient. The
gorgeous full-page satellite images that have generated such
excitement in the past are still present, as is the popular Regions
in the News feature. Plus, this astounding resource offers
expanded coverage of Mexico, Scandinavia, Israel, Lebanon,
Jordan, Central Asia, Korea, Taiwan, Ethiopia, Australia, and New
Zealand and further road detail. Six new maps of the ocean
floor mean that not one inch of the Earth's crust is
overlooked, nor is the moon, which is also receives special
cartographic treatment. Providing the finest global coverage
available, the Deluxe Edition raises the bar by which all other
world atlases will be measured.
