Times Map of the World

Inhaltsangabe

In addition to the independent republics of the former USSR, the states of Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovakia and the Czech Republic which were shown in the previous edition, this map shows the new state of Eritrea. After years of civil war, Eritrea gained international recognition of its independence from Ethiopia in 1993. The names of the major cities and international physical features are shown in English and not the local language (eg Warsaw not Warszawa, Ural Mountains and not Uralskiy Khrebet). This makes the map more readily accessible to the general reader who needs an up-to-date map to follow reports of world events in newspapers, on radio and television. The mapping is politically coloured to show countries clearly.
