A general world atlas in the format and design style of the New Oxford School Atlas. It should be useful in International Schools and where the New Oxford School Atlas is not suitable because of its strong UK curriculum bias. It uses a Pacific-centred view of the World as a basis for 14 pages of world thematic mapping. The traditional Eurocentric order of contents is set aside and the Asian section begins the regional grouping of high quality topographic and thematic maps. The clear and informative gazetteer, of 17,000 entries, includes a glossary.
