This atlas has been specially created from the latest digital cartography. The physically coloured maps clearly show towns and cities, as well as major transport routes and administrative boundaries. At the beginning of the atlas is an informative 64-page travel section, including maps of time zones, major world air routes and climate, plus a world gazetteer for 60 notable countries. It offers key information for travellers on specific entry requirements, currencies, languages, medical advice and international telephone dialling codes. A selection of 20 city plans completes the travel section, arranged in alphabetical order for ease of reference. At the end of the atlas, the 64-page letter-figure index lists all major towns and cities, plus numerous geographical features such as rivers, lakes and mountains. The slim format makes it easy to carry for travellers on the move.
