Klappentext

The 22nd edition of Goode's World Atlas blends dramatic new maps and exceptional cartography with the strong traditions that have made the atlas a standard for over 85 years.

Zusammenfassung

***Goode’s World Atlas ***has been the world’s premiere educational atlas since 1923 and for good reason. It features over 250 pages of maps, from definitive physical and political maps to important thematic maps that illustrate the spatial aspects of many important topics. The 22nd edition includes 160 pages of new, digitally produced reference maps, as well as new thematic maps on global climate change, sea level rise, CO2 emissions, polar ice fluctuations, deforestation, extreme weather events, infectious diseases, water resources, and energy production.
