catalog abstract "From the Back Cover: The first edition of the Third World Atlas was widely welcomed in these glowing terms. This substantially revised and updated second edition is much more than a conventional collection of maps. It explores alternative ways of defining and mapping 'Third World' and 'development'. It offers both historical and contemporary contexts, presenting information on Europe's colonization of Asia, Africa and Latin America and on current issues such as industrialization, environmental degradation, famine, migration and gender. It examines three main questions: What is the Third World? ; How was it 'made'? ; What changes are taking place in the Third World today? More generally, the Atlas presents a variety of perspectives and explores how data can be presented and interpreted, and how much reliance we can place upon it. Students of geography, sociology, politics and international history, as well as development specialists, will find this an indispensable guide and resource.".
