Part of a must-have series for those interested in human geography! This poster-sized world map is featured in the National Geographic Atlas of the World, Tenth Edition, published to mark the 125th anniversary of National Geographic Cartography.
Human geography examines how human activity affects and is affected by the earth and its natural processes. Earth's 4.5 billion year history is characterized by epochs. Humans have been altering Earth's ecology for tens of thousands of years, and scientists now believe that we are in an entirely new phase in Earth's history - Anthropocene. How has industrialization changed the very nature of our planet? Where have we developed populous settlements - and why?
Explore the impacts of human influence over time, the last biomes that remain largely untouched by the human hand, and new efforts aimed at minimizing our impact on the only planet we have.
This map is found in National Geographic's 10th Edition World Atlas, and is now available as a stand alone product. A perfect companion to Population: Life on a Crowded Planet and Climate: Shifting Winds and Weather
National Geographic's maps are the standard by which all other reference maps are measured. The maps are meticulously researched and adhere to National Geographic's convention of making independent, apolitical decisions based on extensive research using multiple authoritative sources.
Printed on polypropylene, an ideal material for wall maps as the printing brings out rich colours, and crisp edges for readability. The material is stronger than most papers and unlikely to crease or rip. The matte finish eliminates glare, and adds texture to the map. Ideal for display.
