The Discworld Atlas


Book Description

Unseen University are proud to present the most comprehensive map and guide to the Disc yet produced. In this noble endeavour, drawing upon the hard won knowledge of many great and, inevitably, late explorers, one may locate on a detailed plan of our world such fabled realms as the Condiment Isles, trace the course of the River Kneck as it deposits silt and border disputes in equal abundance on the lands either side, and contemplate the vast deserts of Klatch and Howondaland - a salutary lesson in the perils of allowing ones goats to graze unchecked. This stunning work brings to life the lands and locations of the Discworld stories in a way never seen before. Accompanied by lavish full-colour illustrations and a detailed world map, this is a must-have for any Discworld fan.

Atlas


Book Description

Earth is a legend amongst legends; it survived the meteors that decimated the dinosaurs, it survived the coming of the great comet half its size and most importantly it survived humans, its greatest threat. In time humans realized that they could not survive without the Earth and peace emerged and with that came great civilizations. These civilizations prospered and grew; the earth was no longer enough, they needed more, more than just the moon, sun and the stars. They expanded past their moon, at first they found nothing but as their minds developed so did their technology. Finally they found it, they were scared at first but in time they embraced it and finally came to terms with the fact that they were not alone and as time would allow it, the Earth grew with the rest of the seven great planets in the solar system. There was no more need for exploration, no more room for questions, this is was an era of solutions. Solutions that brought great nations together, continents became countries and race; became a thing of the past. Peace was no longer a distant reality but as time would have it, nothing lasts forever; Earth became part of a solution, a solution that would cost it all its inhabitants, will the Earth survive once more?
