Peters World Atlas: The Earth in its True Proportions
Updated and revised since the Hammond 2002 edition known as the Compact Peters World Atlas: The Earth in True Proportion. This new Ullmann Atlas is larger, heavier, and up-to-date in terms of the data on the 242 thematic maps. If technology advances, internet usage, satellites and military figures are important to you...buy this new edition. OTHER NEW ENTRIES include Public Finance & Gross domestic product. You will also note the changing figures on income inequality. Those in the 99% movement (OWS and company) will note that the USA has moved across the threshold into "gross income inequality." But you don't need this Atlas to tell you that. A stimulating gift with hours of fascinating images...and a broader way of looking at the world. Other updates include: Kosovo & Macedonia, but does not yet include South Sudan. Based on 2008 & 2009 data from the UN statistical yearbook, and world bank figures.
