Revised and updated, the Explorer World Atlas contains colorful, large-scale world maps, and easy-to-read computer-generated political maps. Each geographical area opens with a political map, followed by regional maps that are color-coded and textured to highlight distinct features such as parks, forests, deserts, and urban areas. Also included are a world flags and reference guide that includes a country's latest population figures, capitals, area, currency, and more. There is also an easy-to-use 13,000-entry Master Index.
