Product Description

Review
'A revelation'
--Time Out

Product Description
This is one of the most significant works of reference ever published. Here is our planet as youve never seen it before: 366 digitally modified maps known as cartograms depict the areas and countries of the world not by their physical size, but by their demographic importance on a vast range of topics, ranging from basic data on population, health, wealth and occupation to how many toys we import and whos eating their vegetables. Created by the team behind worldmapper.org, this compelling reference is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in understanding the new world order: how trends and statistics determine our planets future and success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really interesting book, 7 Oct 2008
By Mr. T. Keen (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is brilliant! It uses maps of the world to display data by distorting the physical size of countries according to the relevant data - the result is a very visual feel for the data - much more powerful than figures or words could be. Every page has a global map displaying a different set of data and the range of data is huge, spanning from spread of diseases to energy use, from prevalence of national disasters to effectiveness of legal systems.

The book is pretty large and an ideal coffee table read. You don't need to be particularly analytical to get a lot from it - just need to be interested in the world. A fantastic new way of looking at the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, 4 Feb 2009
By N. Anderson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is full of fascinating facts about the world - some will leave you feeling angry and/or sad about the state of the world, others are just plain interesting. The kind of book you don't want to put down.

4.0 out of 5 stars A time capsule, 5 April 2009
This book is a bit of a time capsule - it's a shot taken in time, and it will be interesting to pick it up again in 10 years and see which issues have changed, and where the weight has shifted. I think everyone's library should include a copy.
