Satellite Atlas Of The World

Based on a true (not simulated) view of Earth from 800 kilometres into space (that’s 100 times higher than Everest), the images in this atlas have been created by processing signals gathered in space by satellites circling the Earth in near polar orbits. Study the fragile beauty of our planet, from the Amazon’s disappearing rain forest, to Africa and Asia’s spreading deserts, to the savage beauty of the wild canyon landscape of the Colorado Plateau.

Two-In-One World Atlas

At last, here is a unique and prestigious atlas that enables a direct comparison between the ‘built’ environment that man has created, and the natural world onto which it has been superimposed. By placing conventional physical maps next to satellite maps of the same region, you can compare two entirely different views (at the same scale and projection) simultaneously side-by-side on the same double page spread. The satellite mapping is created from highly accurate, one kilometre resolution satellite cartography enhanced with elevation data giving the final maps a breath-taking third dimension.
A special 8-page section is devoted to showcasing stunning satellite images of major cities and contrasting areas of geographical interest including London, New York City, the Arabian Desert and Antarctica. This superb atlas also contains a fascinating overview of the complex processes by which satellite images are created.
This new and distinctive approach to atlas mapping provides a unique insight into the relationship between man and his environment and opens new perspectives on the important issues in the world today.
