{"product_id":"philips-concise-world-atlas","title":"Philip's Concise World Atlas","description":"An Excellent home reference for the family and student.\nThis authoritative atlas provides detailed coverage of the world in cartography of exceptional quality. The 128 pages of physical and political mapping - fully revised and updated, and utilising the latest digital cartography - have been selected to provide balanced coverage of the continents, while giving prominence to densely populated and economically or strategically important areas. Projections and scales have been chosen to maximise legibility and minimise distortion over the largest regions.\nPhilip's physical maps combine relief shading with layer-coloured contours to give a stunning visual impression of the Earth's surface, while charting physical features, settlements and communications with meticulous accuracy. The extensive alpha-numeric index of 45,000 names includes geographical features such as mountains, rivers, lakes and deserts, as well as provinces, towns and cities.\nIncluded also is a superb 48-page introductory section - The Earth in Space. Beautifully illustrated with informative photographs, maps and diagrams, this section covers such topics as the Universe, Solar System and Earth from space, the dynamic Earth, earthquakes and volcanoes, forces of nature, climate and weather, water and land use, agriculture, minerals and energy, world economies, trade and commerce, transport and the world today. A world atlas which includes statistical data, plus a section on 'The Earth in Space'.","brand":"George Philip Limited","offers":[{"title":"Fair \/ 30d3ab1675d","offer_id":48068053434519,"sku":"9780540075478-FR-30d3ab1675d","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/9780540075478.jpg?v=1785059343","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/philips-concise-world-atlas","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
