MCGRAW-HILL'S ATLAS OF WORLD EVENTS
商品資訊
商品簡介
From biodiversity to the politics of oil--a compelling bird's-eye view of the trends shaping today's world
Ethnic conflicts in Central Asia influence the cost of heating a home in Boise. Western Europe employment rates affect India's GNP. Increased use of genetic engineering by American agribusiness has a direct bearing on the spread of famine in Africa. There are no isolated events in a global village, so making sense of today's headlines means having timely information about the broad trends shaping our world.
In that spirit, McGraw-Hill's Atlas of World Events goes beyond the "where" of today's world to offer you a vivid, in-depth picture of the current state of the planet and human civilization. An indispensable reference for everyone with a keen interest in current affairs, this unique atlas features:
- 120 maps highlighting the complex forces shaping our world
- A Flashpoints section devoted to Iraq, Chechnya, Kashmir, the Congo, and other hotspots
- Four data tables containing information on population density and growth, languages spoken, forms of government, capital cities, and basic economic indicators
- Expert analyses and interpretations that provide a more nuanced understanding of the information
In addition to many stunning four-color reference maps, McGraw-Hill's Atlas of World Events contains an array of thematic maps that help you reach a deeper understanding of important global trends. Maps cover a range of key sociopolitical indices and are organized according to the categories of politics and conflict; economic development; environmental issues; and human patterns and demographics. Examples of thematic maps include:
- Military Expenditures as a Percentage of GNP
- World External Migrations in Modern Times
