Description: Philip's Pocket Travel Atlas is a small-format hardback, packed with detail: an ideal reference for the regular or long distance traveller. The 96 pages of up-to-date maps are physically coloured to give a superb representation of the Earth's surface, with cities and towns, as well as major transport routes and administrative boundaries, clearly shown. The detailed travel information section includes population statistics and maps showing time zones, flight paths and world climate, together with city centre plans for 24 of the world's most visited cities, arranged in alphabetical order for ease of reference. New for this edition are the city maps of Dublin, Moscow, Prague and Toronto. In addition, a concise Gazetteer of Nations provides up-to-date information for 150 of the world's countries (including 24 entries added for this edition), with key facts on currencies, languages and governments, plus current medical and travel advice. Samoa, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Belize, Cape Verde, Comoros, Dominica, Ethiopia, French Polynesia, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Madagascar, Mauritius, Netherlands Antilles, Reunion, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, Slovak Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, British Virgin Islands and US Virgin Islands. At the end of the atlas, the 64-page letter-figure index lists all major towns and cities, plus numerous geographical features such as mountains, deserts, rivers and lakes. This compact atlas is ideal for business travellers, gap year students, cruise-line passengers or anyone else visiting a number of countries.
