The Times has an article on the new — 12th — edition of the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World, which was released yesterday. The article discusses the changes that had to be made since the previous edition, especially those that are a result of global warming — lakes like Lake Chad shrinking, coastlines gradually eroding away, rivers running dry, urbanization.

A new Times Atlas is a matter of considerable interest around here. While it’s available on the British version of Amazon and available for pre-order on the Canadian Amazon site, it’s not yet listed on U.S. version of Amazon. I wonder who the U.S. publisher is.
