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.

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.
