An Atlas Of World Affairs

Revised and in print since 1957, An Atlas of World Affairs has proved a valued guide to the people, factions and events that have shaped the modern world from the second world war to the present day.
The world map has changed dramatically since the publication of the ninth edition of An Atlas of World Affairs. This tenth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, placing international issues and conflicts in their most recent geographical contexts through the integration of a hundred maps. Material on new issues includes the break up of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, the expansion of the European Union, the reshaping of South Africa and the pressing environmental concerns faced by many of the new sovereign states

About The Author:

Andrew Boyd began his acquaintance with international affairs in 1946, when as a British liaison officer he attended the very first sessions of the United Nations (his other books include three about the UN). He travelled widely and reported on international affairs while writing on world affairs for The Economist for thirty-seven years.

Joshua Comenetz has used cartographic methods to visualize spatial data and explain the causes and effects of international conflicts, demographic change and natural disasters since 1990. As a consultant he has solved problems in areas ranging from political redistricting to ethnic and religious mapping, and he has taught international relations and geography at university level.
