"Reader's Digest" Atlas of the World - Tapa dura

An atlas featuring up-to-date information about the past, present and future of the planet, including natural history, weather, geology, sea and space. The colour maps are designed to give a three-dimensional effect by use of altitude hints and to provide easy identification of places - using bold typography - and of physical features. Eleven pages are devoted to the UK and islands. Most major placenames are given in both native and translated forms, and the index lists over 45, 000 places.
