Map No. P-27C in the TPC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:500, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. TPC stands for Tactical Pilotage Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 500ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each TPC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.

Since Europeans first reached Brazil in 1500 it has been an unfailing source of extraordinary fascination. More than any other part of the ` New World` it displayed both the greatest beauty & grandeur & witnessed scenes of the most terrible European ferocity. Brazil: A Biography, written by two of Brazil`s leading historians & a bestseller in Brazil itself, is a remarkable attempt to convey the overwhelming diversity & challenges of this huge country from its origins to the 21st century

The book`s major themes are the near-continuous battles to create both political institutions & social frameworks that would allow stable growth, legal norms & protection for all its citizens. Brazil`s failure to achieve these except in the very short term has been tragic, but even now it remains one of the world`s great experiments
