75 large maps
We'll take you to 66 countries across 6 continents!

66 countries from six continents – Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, Oceania, and Antarctica – are depicted on 75 large maps.
Starting with a map that encompasses the entire world, 《MAPS》(Expanded Edition) allows readers to first find and explore the countries that interest them according to their own interests and curiosity.
Continental maps show the boundaries of continents, the countries that make up a continent, and the surrounding oceans and the creatures that live there.
On the maps of individual countries, readers can freely explore the nature, culture, people, and customs of each country.
This expansion adds 8 more countries to the 58 introduced in the previous 《MAPS》.
Newly introduced are Slovenia in Europe, Iran and Indonesia in Asia, Nigeria, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa, Cuba in North America, and finally Venezuela in South America.
We can meet not only countries that are well known to us, but also countries that have received relatively less attention.
Why not take this opportunity to explore the world, including countries that have become important to us in this changing social environment?

Obtained through the authors' meticulous research and revision
More accurate information is back in text and pictures!

Even after the publication of 《Global Cultural Journey》 and 《MAPS》, the authors continued to diligently research the countries featured in their previous books and those they would include in new ones.
This was to check for any facts that may have been incorrect and to reflect in the book any changes in the international situation.
As a result, the artists had to revise over 200 drawings.
It is changed or added to a more accurate location, appearance, description, etc.
It's not easy to change the content of an existing book, but the authors didn't give up and added new and more accurate information to the book.
We also persuaded overseas publishers to help us produce better books.
The Korean version of 《MAPS》(Expanded Edition) shows the exact location of Incheon Bridge in Korea and also adds a description of Queen Elizabeth II of England.
Many other things have been changed or added as well.


With a reliable, balanced perspective
Look at the world!

The authors of 《MAPS》(Expanded Edition) love to travel and loved the illustrated monthly encyclopedias they read as children.
These memories and tendencies of theirs were carried over into the carefully written and illustrated series “Global Cultural Travel” and “MAPS.”
But the book was not only filled with their passion, but also with the enthusiastic support of many readers.
And after listening to readers' stories, the writers, after much deliberation, came to see and present the world from a more trustworthy and balanced perspective.
Beyond simply introducing the world's most influential figures, the expanded edition also features writers, politicians, and human rights activists who are still making a significant impact today.
By highlighting respected figures instead of historically problematic ones, and by not leaving out small and marginalized peoples and groups, we are portraying a global village where we all live together regardless of size.
Let's take a look at some of our neighbors living on our planet.

The writers' sincerity, the writers' spirit alive and breathing
Enjoy the best-selling map book filled with illustrations and text!

From the time of creating 《Global Cultural Journey》, the authors drew vivid pictures one by one, created fonts exclusively for this book, and hand-wrote the names of countries in every language.
The Korean version of 《MAPS》(Expanded Edition) also contains the same dedication of the authors.
The authors say they hope this book will be a beginning, not an end.
I hope that children and adults alike will enjoy this book as they travel the world, following their own interests and curiosity.
He hopes that this book will serve as a starting point for people to learn more about countries they are interested in, and eventually travel to those countries themselves.
Shall we all go on a free and fun world tour together?
