The cartographer Stephen Stringall has an attractive style that is clear and concise depicting a large amount of geographic and ancillary information related to Malawi. There is extensive use made of the borders of the map to include anecdotal text dealing with everything from the history of Malawi, wildlife, economy and physical geography descriptions. An inset map shows annual rainfall and other inset maps show streets of Blantyre and Lilongwe. Other useful features are a distance graph and of course colour photos of various indigenous wildlife of Malawi. The map has devoted a good deal of attention to travel related features such as gasoline / petrol stations, rest houses, missions, mosques etc and five different road classifications are shown. For travel in Malawi this map is indispensable. ========= WORLD OF MAPS ========= 118 Holland Ave. Ottawa,ON, Canada, K1Y 0X6 Thousands of maps, atlases, travel books, satellite posters Telephone (613) 724-6776 Fax (613) 724-7776 or 1-800-897-9969 http://www.worldofmaps.com/ or email: [log in to unmask]
