Kurzbeschreibung
National Geographic Atlas of the World, Ninth Edition showcases the Earth in stunning detail, through a magnificent collection of world, continental, and regional maps that represent up-to-the-minute political geography. Throughout the Ninth Edition, state-of-the-art cartographic technologies and thousands of updates deliver accuracy and quality. Innovative new physical and thematic sections address the most compelling issues facing our world today. Preeminent scientists and experts in geographical specialty fields have consulted on all topics, to ensure that the maps, graphs, and text convey significant trends and findings relevant to modern science. Innovative design makes the wide-ranging content wonderfully accessible, resulting in an accurate, useful, and user-friendly reference to the world.
Map coverage in the Ninth Edition 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.
· Dramatic, state-of-the-art ocean floor maps show more detail, more features, and more soundings than in any other 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. Plus, new highlighted notes called "connections" point out the interrelationships between topics.
The reference value of the National Geographic Atlas of the World, Ninth Edition is unparalleled, 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 National Geographic Atlas of the World, Ninth Edition in a class by itself.
Free gift: The Atlas of the World, Ninth Edition also comes with two free frameable map prints! This premium map is a two-piece, antique-styled map of the Western and Eastern Hemispheres, reflecting current political boundaries. The two sheets can be mounted separately or together in one frame. Dimensions for each sheet are: 11-1/2" x 14-5/8".

Good, but.....
7. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a dedicated cartophile I have collected hundreds of atlases, including every edition of the National geographic Atlas in the last 40 years. The maps continue to be superb, BUT the emphasis is overwhelmingly on the northern hemisphere and islands. There are detailed maps of the United States, Canada and Europe, but once south of the Equator there are none. This is an ongoing NGS fault.
South Africa, the Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires area, and southeast Australia are examples of areas where detailed maps would be appropriate.
Australia, the same size as the USA and more than twice the size of the European Union is covered by just one map. Perversely the most remotely populated areas of Australia (Cape York and top end of the Northern Territory) are covered in great detail on the edge of the Papua-New Guinea map. New Zealand and Papua-New Guinea, both a fraction the size of Australia, are mapped in far greater detail, and uninhabited Pacific and Antarctic islands receive detailed coverage. Maps of the areas mentioned above have been published by the NGS, just not in their atlases.
Many of the thematic maps at the beginning of the atlas are new, but some are too predictable. The maps of cell phone subscriptions, traditional phone lines and personal computers are almost identical. The map showing passenger flights totally ignores South America and the fourth busiest air route in the world between Sydney and Melbourne.
And just what is the "Mexico City effect" mentioned on the Natural Hazards map. It is not defined anywhere on the map or its caption.
Even the mighty NGS can make mistakes. On the map of the Arctic Ocean Floor, Alaska's Kenai Peninsula is labeled as Seward Peninsula, while the true Seward Peninsula at Bering Strait is correctly labeled.
Overall the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World is yet to be beaten.

Fantastic Atlas
22. Oktober 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I pre-ordered this Atlas months ago for my wife who is a world geography fan. It contains much more info then any other Atlas we've seen and is beautifully printed. Amazon prices this book at 62% of what National Geographic is currently charging. We're delighted with the content and the quality and expect to spend many, many hours exploring the Atlas. In addition to the detailed geographic content, this book contains detailed information about the solar system and the universe. The extensive oceanographic info is also very interesting and not readily available through other sources. It's big, it's heavy, it's beautifully printed and it's a bargain at Amazon's price. This is a book that any family will use as a reference for years and years.
Highly recommended!
Highly recommended!

Worth Every Penny
22. Oktober 2010

National Geographic has created a wonderful atlas in this edition. Interested buyers should take another look at the books dimensions, it's HUGE. The 9th Edition gives a good nod to the environment and the impact we as humans are making on the world. There are tables and graphs included which are easy to read and understand.
Included are two maps which you can frame and hang on a wall. They aren't huge, I'd say standard letter size, but are a nice compliment. The slipcase is strong and durable, as well as the book itself. While there are definitely other atlas' out there which cost less, none can match the style of the National Geographic Society.
