Times Atlas
of the World Quotes |
"The Times Comprehensive
Atlas of the World, maps don’t get any better than
that!" Nick Millea - author and head of the Bodleian Map Library "I adore The Times Atlas of the World" Philip Scofield Jake Meyer: "Whether you’re a globe-trotting explorer or an armchair adventurer, The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World is the definitive ‘guide book’ to the world. It makes your mind run wild and your feet itch." "I love maps and atlases, and the Times Atlas is the best for the clarity of the cartography, its layout and variety and richness of information. I not only use it constantly for reference, but also delight in browsing through it as I dream of future trips." Chris Bonington "Utterly indispensable - I have owned at least one copy of every edition published since the 1940s, and know for certain I have six volumes in my house at this very moment. It is the wedding present I always give, and have done for the past twenty years; and I always inscribe the gift in the same way: May All Your Journeys, to All These Places, be Happy, Healthy and Serene." Simon Winchester "My work as an ecologist and environmental campaigner relies on good information. I cannot count the number of occasions that such information has come from my vast Times Atlas. It has been a constant companion for the last 20 years of my work." Tony Juniper |
