10th and last edition of probably the most popular large german "Hand-Atlas". It is unsurprisingly also the largest edition ever made with exactly 108 douple page maps of the whole world. As usual, Stielers presents the whole world rather evenly with obvious exception of Germany and middle Europe (which is newly presnted at a smaller scale of 1:925 000). The 10th edition comes with sveral completely new maps from developing regions (2 from eastern Europe , 6 from Middle- and East- Asia, 2 from Africa and 2 from Australia and New Zealand). My absolute favourite maps are still maps #3 and #4 - North and South Pole - both showing dated journeys of polar explorers and expeditions.
