Planetary scientist and educator Ken Coles has teamed up with Ken Tanaka from the United States Geological Survey\'s Astrogeology team, and Phil Christensen, Principal Investigator of the Mars Odyssey orbiter\'s THEMIS science team, to produce this all-purpose reference atlas, The Atlas of Mars. Each of the thirty standard charts includes: a full-page color topographic map at 1:10,000,000 scale, a THEMIS daytime infrared map at the same scale with features labeled, a simplified geologic map of the corresponding area, and a section describing prominent features of interest. The Atlas is rounded out with extensive material on Mars\' global characteristics, regional geography and geology, a glossary of terms, and an indexed gazetteer of up-to-date Martian feature names and nomenclature. This is an essential guide for a broad readership of academics, students, amateur astronomers, and space enthusiasts, replacing the NASA atlas from the 1970s. An illustrated history of explorers\' maps and the questions they answer.More than the detailed representation of the geographical areas that their makers explored, maps reveal their makers\' worldview as well as the myths, beliefs and legends of their times.

Many of these examples will be unfamiliar even to serious cartographers and collectors. Thirty essays answer the questions map-makers have asked and reveal the roles their maps played in finding those answers.Color reproductions of beautiful maps and charts include:A Chinese map dated to 1229 that shows the city\'s bridges, pagodas and gardens A French 15th-century interpretation of the four corners of the Earth A painted silk map of the universe dating from the 1830s A modern inverse world map from Australia\'s perspective The cosmos as imagined in 1750.With 87 maps in all, Mapping the World will fascinate general readers, map collectors, geographers, cartographers and historians.
