About this deal

Description: The Atlas of Food provides an up-to-date and visually appealing way of understanding the important issues relating to global food and agriculture. In mapping out broad areas of investigation—contamination of food and water, overnutrition, micronutrient deficiency, processing, farming, and trade—it offers a concise overview of today’s food and farming concerns. Treating a world atlas as a reviewable object on its own terms is going to be a challenge. Let me start by talking about the damn bookmark. The 1922 Times Survey Atlas of the World, and many other maps and atlases, are viewable online at DavidRumsey.com Disputed boundaries and ceasefire lines are dotted in several different and specific ways. The Nine-Dash Line is absent; territorial claims are noted on a text label. It’s less informative than the National Geographic (which privileges the political more than any other atlas), but it’s less likely to render the map out of date later on. Should You Get It?

Insets: Continuation Minia to Antaeopolis; Continuation Antaeopolis to Thebes; Cairo; Port Said; Suez] So much history resides in each map–cultural, mythological, navigational–expressing the unlimited extent of human imagination. This is captured in the accompanying texts–mini essays by leading map historians–that are as vivid and insightful as the maps themselves. Dictionaries & language learning Col 1 Dictionaries Paul Noble Easy learning languages Free dictionary resources The Times Atlas of World History is a historical atlas first published by Times Books Limited, then a subsidiary of Times Newspapers Ltd and later a branch of Collins Bartholomew, which is a subsidiary of HarperCollins, and which in the latest editions has changed names to become The Times Complete History of the World. The first two editions were created by Barry Winkleman, the editorial director of Times Atlases and Managing Director of Times Books. They were edited by the Oxford Chichele Professor of Modern History Geoffrey Barraclough. It contains large full color plates and commentary on each map or set of maps. Includes approximately 600 maps covering the date span of 3000 BCE to 1975. It has been revised and reprinted for many times and the latest edition is the ninth edition, published in 2015, and reflects on the modern world up to the 21st Century. [1] Content [ edit ]The Times Atlas of the World, rebranded The Times Atlas of the World: Comprehensive Edition in its 11th edition and The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World from its 12th edition, is a world atlas currently published by HarperCollins Publisher L.L.C. Its most recent edition, the fifteenth, was published on 6 September 2018.

Any atlas will emphasize certain regions at the expense of others: it’s a function of the readership its publisher is trying to sell to. As an atlas published in the United Kingdom, in English, the Times Comprehensive does about as you’d expect. Of 132 map plates, 40 are of Europe, comprising 30 percent of the total. Asia is next with 31 plates, or 23.5 percent, followed by North America at 23 plates or 17.4 percent. South America gets only eight plates (six percent), less than the Oceania section (11 plates, 8.3 percent), which makes up Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Most regional maps run between 1:2,500,000 and 1:5,500,000, depending on the continent; almost all the large-scale maps (1:1,000,000 to 1:1,500,000), with few exceptions, are in Europe. So it’s a bit eurocentric, yes, though the foreword takes pains to emphasize the atlas’s edition-by-edition trend away from eurocentricity. Revision Col 3 Collins at Home | Support for schools Home tutors Letts Revision Collins4Parents Collins Book Sale Revision for studentsFor those in the market for atlases that make excellent reference books, we recommend the The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World, Oxford Atlas of the World, National Geographic Atlas 10th Edition, Goode's World Atlas 23rd Edition, and DK Complete Atlas 3rd Edition. All of these contain a wealth of information, in addition to maps. Of these, The Times Comprehensive Atlas is probably the most all-encompassing, though the National Geographic Atlas 10th Edition is not far behind. For example, we kept the Oxford New Concise World Atlas, despite being published at the end of 2015, due to its impressive range of maps, satellite imagery, an extensive index, and other features. While some statistics or political leanings may have changed, it's still rife with useful information, with another upside being its lowered price. Finally, if you're looking to compare trends over the years, an older atlas can provide helpful insight. Young people who want something less childish and more adult will appreciate the newly-added DK Student World Atlas, which we brought on to replace the DK Complete Atlas 3rd Edition. This option is ideal for middle schoolers but can still be helpful for high schoolers and adults, as well as comprehensible to younger children. It provides some solid information but isn't quite as in-depth as the more comprehensive atlases out there, which may be by design so as not to overwhelm young readers.
