Philip's Essential School Atlas has been specially created for lower-secondary pupils. The maps have been carefully designed so they are uncluttered and easy to read containing specially selected place names and detail. A clear set of symbols and scale information accompanies each map and there is a useful introductory section covering basic atlas skills including aerial photographs and satellite images to further explain particular features on the maps.Fully up-to-date the atlas comprises a 16-page UK and Ireland section and a 42-page World section.
