Pub Note:
Richard Harrison produced in this remarkable atlas a unique view of the world for the "air age." These maps are precursors of our ubiquitous satellite maps of today, yet hand drawn with great cartographic skill. The atlas contains 66, (2) page text, index, statistics, and color, and black and white maps (some folded) and plans. Dust Covers are dark blue heavy paper printed with relief map of japan. Covers are teal blue with the title "Look at the world : the Fortune Atlas For world Strategy. By Richard Edes Harrison. Text by Editors of Fortune. New York: Alfred A. Knopf." in center.
