Vastly improving the accuracy and clarity of previous Hammond atlases, this comprehensive atlas (9.75x13.25"), positioned between Hammond's top-of-the-line Atlas of the World and the smaller Explorer, Odyssey , and New Headlines titles, shows both new political boundaries as well as the earth's natural terrain, employing hypsometric-tinted mapping, a method that indicates ranges of elevation with varying bands of color (hypsometric tints). The map section is organized with comparative thematic maps at the beginning of each continent section, followed by large-scale, detailed maps of the region. There is also a wealth of related reference material, and a 45,000-entry master index. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
