The fruit we had for breakfast this morning came from Mexico, Chile, and New Zealand, the coffee from the highlands of Ethiopia, and the tea from Assam. We warmed our rolls in a toaster oven that was desigend in Italy and manufactured in China. We sent a text message to our publisher in Germany on a Finnish cell phone with electronic parts from Malaysia & Japan. Our connections to the rest of the world are multifarious and omnipresent. What is the role of agriculture in Mexico, Chile and New Zealand? What is the volume of trade between the United States and other parts of the world? Where are the global exchange points for internet data transmissions? Where are the highlands in Ethiopia or the electronic manufacturing centers in Malaysia? Where is Assam? The Perthes World Atlas offers answers to these questions and many others.
