Every corner of the world revealed in this ultimate atlas, created by the world's premier cartographic publisher.

More than 300 maps and graphics represent every state, province, country, territory, and island, plus the poles, oceans, planets, and beyond.

Elegant and authoritative, packaged in a protective slipcase box, National Geographic's 11th edition of its flagship Atlas of the World provides precise, detailed, easy-to-read maps of all regions of the world.

Organized by continent and reflecting current boundaries and identities, this top-of-the-line atlas offers hours of browsing fascination for the globally inquisitive.

20 broad-ranging thematic spreads open the book, including maps and data-rich graphics on topics from tectonics and climate to world economy and energy sources.

A special section on Space includes star charts, maps of the Moon and Mars, depictions of the Milky Way and the larger universe, and a custom visualization of all human space explorations.

Additional features include:

  • Flags, key data, and brief descriptions of all 195 countries
  • An intriguing array of geographical details, from the age and mass of the planet to engineering wonders and population extremes
  • Navigational endsheets with a world map sectioned off and keyed to every map inside
  • High-quality paper and printing, bookmark ribbon, protective slipcase
  • A comprehensive index citing more than 150,000 locations found on the maps within

This glorious large-format atlas doubles as a gorgeous coffee table keepsake and an endless learning experience for the curious-minded: students, travelers, explorers both armchair and otherwise, and every family library seeking the finest in cartographic excellence and enjoyment.
“If you’re going to buy just one atlas this fall, make it the 11th edition of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ATLAS OF THE WORLD (National Geographic, $215), a 7.8-pound behemoth that’s a foot and a half long and a foot wide. Its mammoth size allows you to appreciate the details in its dozens of maps — satellite maps, cultural maps and physical maps, all of them striking. The best one, “Life on a Warming Planet,” lays out where temperatures are rising (and by how much), where permafrost is melting, what nations emit the most carbon dioxide and which large cities are at high risk.” –The New York TImes
