- Summary:
- Includes a thematic section covering physical, historic, economic, urban, social, and cultural topics, ranging from environmental change to religious practice and from indigenous peoples to migration patterns. These newly drawn maps depict an increasingly multicultural and diverse realm in momentous economic and social transition. The thematic section is preceded by a series of satellite images and followed by detailed cartographic, statistical and narrative coverage of each of the realm's three nations, then regional maps of states and provinces and larger-scale maps of urban areas.--From publisher description.
