Preface is in five languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Portugese. This Atlas represents a very international effort at mapmaking.

The continents are portrayed at 1:24,000,000 in natural colors, as they might appear from 4,000 miles in space. In a second series of maps, regions are displayed at 1:12,000,000 (190 miles to the inch) with political features. The third series presents the inhabited areas at 1:6,000,000 (95 miles/inch), or 1:3,000,000 (47 miles/inch). Certain key regions selected for their demographic importance are presented in a fourth series at 1:1,000,000 (16 miles to the inch_, and in a final series, the world's major urban areas, omitting relief, are mapped at 1:300,000 (4.7 miles per inch). This Atlas presents dramatic advances made in relief. The concluding section consists of Topical maps. These depict important economic activity, poliical alignments, and cultural distributions.

In the mid 1960s, Rand McNally assembled a team of the world's leading cartographers and geographers for an extraordinarily ambitious purpose to design and create the ultimate reference atlas--one that would surpass all others in cartographic quality, comprehensiveness, and ease of use. Through this unique collaboration "The New International Atlas" was born. Since its initial publication in 1969, it has achieved renown throughout the world and has set the standard of excellence for world atlases. More copies of "The New International Atlas" have been sold than any other atlas in its class. This Anniversry Edition of the atlas celebrates twenty-five years of excellence and success.
