Philip's family world atlas (New ed)

This edition has been created using digital cartography.

The use of political colours on the maps helps to emphasize individual countries and place names rather than landforms, using distinctive colours to make identification easier. New for this edition is a 6-page city maps section, featuring detailed city centre maps of Amsterdam, Athens, Bangkok, Berlin, Brussels, Delhi, Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Mexico City, Mumbai, New York, Paris, Prague, Rio de Janiero, Rome, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.

At the end of the atlas, the 8-page letter-figure index lists all major towns and cities, plus geographical features suchas mountains, rivers and lakes.
