A2 hardback world atlas from National Geographic in a bespoke slipcase. This deluxe world atlas showcases the Earth in stunning detail, through a collection of world, continental, and regional maps.

Map coverage in the Ninth Edition of National Geographic’s world atlas is more comprehensive and up-to-date than ever before: newly generated regional maps reveal in great detail the geography of places in the news today, strengthening the reference aspect of the Atlas in its coverage of newsworthy developments, from conflict in the Middle East to global warming in North America. Ocean floor maps show more detail, more features, and more soundings than in any other previous edition of the atlas. Extraterrestrial maps chart the Northern and Southern skies, the Solar System, the Milky Way, and the Universe, with new maps of Mars and the Moon that denote physical features, spacecraft landings, and impact sites. Twenty new thematic spreads illustrate crucial aspects of the human and physical world: population, urbanization, and their environmental impact, as well as human rights, health and wellness, culture, climate, technology, and many other topics. In this section, world maps appear in the same scale and projection to make it easier for the reader to compare layers of information. There are also new highlighted notes called 'connections' point out the interrelationships between topics.

The reference value of the Ninth Edition is impressive, with the place-name index now exceeding 150,000 entries to incorporate the thousands of features covered on the new spreads. Simple, straightforward index design provides readers with ease of navigation in finding the places they want to explore. This blend of mapping expertise, comprehensive coverage, and award-winning design places the "Ninth Edition National Geographic Atlas of the World" as an atlas to be reckoned with.
