The World Almanac 2007 World Map offers a new twist in world atlas publishing. This innovative book combines exceptional cartography with authoritative and compelling data from the World Almanac and Book of Facts. This unique combination contributes to a deeper understanding and appreciation of our global community.

Looking at the natural and human-made features on our planet, this book is organised by the world's seven continents. Each spread contains a computer-generated map with picture icons of landmarks that give the area its character, from spectacular mountains and canyons to castles, temples, monuments and public buildings. Both ancient and modern wonders are covered. All the landmarks on the map are featured on the page, either in the main text, in a factfile or in a Can You Find panel. The book also contains four feature spreads on different types of buildings, palaces, places of worship and the seven wonders of the world.
