Starting with an introduction to satellite mapping and some additional technical

The major section of the atlas is fifty one pages of 1kilometre resolution, full color
satellite maps of the entire world from pole to pole each interpreted and enhanced with
elevation data and overlaid with cartographic detail. This detail is cities,
international and other administrative boundaries but not roads or railways. The lines
of latitude and longitude are clearly shown across all maps. Differing dot size and
shape show different population ranges for cities and the text for cities is reversed
out in clear white which contrasts nicely with the colorful images.
