Features: We live in the world, and we reside in the global village. As every resident of this global village, we should recognize the world and understand our home. The Pocket World Atlas compiled and published by Xi'an Map Publishing House is a fundamental guide to help you familiarize yourself with the neighbors of our global village. The seven continents and four oceans of the world are separated by the Bering Strait, which divides the Eurasian continent from the American continent, and the Panama Canal isolates North and South America. The Suez Canal divides Asia and Africa, while the Ural Mountains and the Greater Caucasus range separate the Eurasian continent into Asia and Europe. Oceania floats between the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, and Antarctica, located within the Antarctic Circle, is almost entirely covered by continental glaciers. These "natural villages" on Earth each have their own unique characteristics, customs, natural landscapes, races, and nationalities. Although they have been impacted by two world wars in the 20th century, at the turn of the century, peace and development have become the two major themes of the modern world. The "two-pole world" is also transforming into a "multi-pole world." Population, resources, and the environment are the most popular topics in the world today and will also be global issues of common concern for all countries in the 21st century. With the advancement of science and technology, we can now land on the moon to gaze at our Earth, the home of all humanity, and also take space shuttles to soar into the heavens, surveying our global village. Our understanding of the Earth has become increasingly profound. The most effective way for us to learn about the Earth and recognize the world is to study maps. Maps are tools for humanity to gain a deeper understanding of the world. We aim to let the world know about China while also helping China understand the world. Xi'an Map Publishing House is committed to building a bridge for readers to connect with the world.
