Excerpt from The Century Atlas of the World All the maps have been made especially for this Atlas, and have been based upon the latest and best official information, with a comparison of the results of recent explorations. Those of the United States are founded upon maps issued by the United States government, and also upon many others published by State and local authorities; those of England, on the map of the Ordnance Survey; and those of all other countries upon similar authoritative materials. The railroads, which are printed in red to increase the legibility and attractiveness of the maps, are shown in accordance with the most recent official information; the figures for depth of water in seas, bays, and harbors have been taken from the British Admiralty charts and those of the United States Hydrographic Office; the heights of mountains and the elevations of lakes are those given by the latest surveys; and the various political divisions are exhibited in accordance with the most recent adjustments. In portraying the mountain systems of the United States a feature has been introduced which is'a novelty in general atlases, namely, lines of equal elevation above the sea (contour-lines), which have been printed in olive or brown. These have been taken from the published results of the Government Surveys, and are given for elevations of 100, 500, feet, etc. This method has been extended to the maps of Mexico also, by means of determinations furnished by Mr. H. M. Wilson of the Geological Survey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Looking through an atlas has always been a fascinating way to explore the world. Around the World is a contemporary evolution of an atlas tailored to our information age. With eye-catching graphics, current topics, and clear texts, the book is for anyone who is curious about the state of our planet and how we live today. Alongside classic facts about nature, history, population, culture, and politics, Around the World's compelling information graphics thoroughly explain complex processes that impact our lives such as global trade and changing demographics. The book gives added insight into our modern world through its visual exploration of subjects such as eating habits, overfishing, and internet providers, as well as events that have left indelible marks on our collective conscience including September 11, the Olympic Games, Japan's Fukushima disaster, and the sinking of the Titanic. Enthralling, attractive, and revealing, Around the World is a rich cornucopia of information about local peculiarities of global relevance that bring home the little differences--as well as the astoundingly large similarities--among the citizens of our world.
