The new edition of the atlas (first published as The Atlas of Apartheid) presents a comprehensive introduction and detailed analysis of the spatial impact of apartheid in South Africa. It covers the period of the National Party Government of 1948 to 1994, and emphasizes the changes and the continuing legacy this presents to South Africans at the start of the 21st century. The Atlas makes the unique contribution of presenting the policy and its impact in visual, spatial forms by including over 70 maps, a highly appropriate method considering that apartheid was about the control of space and specific places.

happened. It includes the 21 CEB maps (produced by National

Sidebars, photographs, and timelines bring out interesting facts
about the lands of the Bible, featured in maps of Palestine, Egypt,
Canaan, Babylonia, the Persian empire, the Hellenistic kingdoms in
Daniel, the Roman Empire, Jerusalem, and Paul's journeys. An
exhaustive index makes it easy to locate the places mentioned in
the Bible.
Told for the very first time, this is the true story of the
adventure that shaped the world . . . 'A thrilling story of
courage, survival and science. It's an extraordinary, visceral and
vivid read' Geographical Magazine ________ Three hundred years ago
no one knew the true shape of the world. It wasn't a sphere - but
did it bulge at the equator or was it pointed at the poles? Until
we found out no map could ever be truly accurate. So a team of
scientists was sent to South America - to measure one full degree
of latitude. But South America was a land of erupting volcanoes,
sodden rainforests, earthquakes, deadly diseases, tropical storms
and violent unrest. And the misfit scientists had an unfortunate
tendency to squander funds, fight duels, stumble into mutinies or
die horribly. The tale of their ten-year odyssey of exploration,
discovery, flirtations with failure and ultimate triumph becomes in
Nicholas Crane's hands the greatest scientific adventure story ever
told. ________ 'Pace, rigour and attention to enticing detail . . .
Crane has a rare knack for showing people things without them
having to get out of their chair' Joe Smith, director of The Royal
Geographic society
