Designed specifically for students of geography at secondary-level in English-speaking schools, this atlas begins with a view of the world, followed by physical and political maps of the regions. Over half of this section features thematic maps on such topics as climate, agriculture, industry, population, social themes and trade. There then follows a special "Study Maps" section, which covers such topics as China (irrigation and climate), the Middle East (water resources and engery), Japan (Tokyo, communications and industry), SADC (land use, mining and industry), South Africa (population and human development), Australia (population), Brazil (land use, industry and deforestation), Canada (farming, forestry and fishing), the United States (farming and soil conservation), New York City (urban land use), and the Caribbean (tourism).
