Title Summary

This new Cambridge Atlas is designed as an up-to-date reference source on the whole contemporary Middle East, from Iran to North Africa, with an emphasis on economic and social developments. In 60 pages of two-colour maps, each accompanied by a page of commentary and supplementary figures, the Atlas presents detailed information on the Middle East essential to the international business, political and journalistic community and to a wide range of students and specialists. The Atlas represents the first new map coverage of all these themes for some years and is one of the most accessible reference tools on the region.
