Times Desktop Atlas of the World

Retaining the authority, style, and detail of the larger Times atlases, this excellent world atlas has been fully revised to bring all the maps and geographical information completely up-to-date.

The newly independent country of South Sudan is a significant change to the atlas. As with all the atlases in the Times range, it offers great authority, outstanding quality, and attention to detail.

Detailed updated maps in the distinctive and respected Times style provide balanced, systematic coverage of all parts of the world. Each continent is introduced by a political map showing individual countries, followed by regional maps showing towns and cities, roads, railways, international boundaries, and topography.

The introductory section covers major world geographical themes—from earthquakes and volcanoes to population growth, communications, and climate change—giving a global snapshot of our contemporary world.

The extensive index to more than 25,000 place names illustrates the scope of this world atlas, and there is also a geographical reference section with flags, statistics, and facts for all of the world's states and territories.

A Traveller's Life

Eric Newby's life of travel began in 1919, on pram-ride adventures with his mother into the dark streets of Barnes and the chaotic jungles of Harrods, and progressed to solo, school-bound adventures around the slums of darkest Hammersmith. His interest piqued, Newby's wanderlust snowballed, and his adventures multiplied, as he navigated the London sewer system, bicycled to Italy and meandered the wilds of New York's Broadway.

Whether travelling abroad as a high-fashion buyer for a British department store or for pure adventure as a travel writer, even when reluctantly participating in a tiger shoot in India, Newby chronicles his adventures with verve, humour and infectious enthusiasm.

After nine years as the travel editor of the Observer, Newby reluctantly gave up the post, eschewing the new form of human-as-freight travel. However, this change was certainly no pity for his readers, as the latter-day Newby continued on his unwavering quest for fascinating detail and adventure wherever he roamed, whether on two feet or two wheels. A Traveller's Life chronicles the incredible adventures of one of the best-loved tour guides in the history of travel writing.
