Full colour visual maps illustrating statistical information of many things including air pollution, popular names, light pollution, air traffic movements. Quite interesting, and graphically stimulating, but a little like reading an encyclopaedia. ( ) When I saw this book, I knew I had to check it out! I LOVE maps and this one is super unique: maps that show how inhospitable the South is to The Marshall Islands in the South Pacific where water is literally rising above the buildings to a redrawing of state lines by commute in the U.S. There is just SO MUCH in this book to read, to look at, to dissect. Fascinating! no reviews | add a review

"An unprecedented portrait of the hidden patterns in human society-visualized through the world of data. Award-winning geographer-designer team James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti transform enormous datasets into rich maps and cutting-edge visualizations. In this triumph of visual storytelling, they uncover truths about our past, reveal who we are today, and highlight what we face in the years ahead. With their joyfully inquisitive approach, Cheshire and Uberti explore happiness levels around the globe, trace the undersea cables and cell towers that connect us, examine hidden scars of geopolitics, and illustrate how a warming planet affects everything from hurricanes to the hajj. Years in the making, Atlas of the Invisible invites readers to marvel at the promise and peril of data, and to revel in the secrets and contours of a newly visible world"-- No library descriptions found. |
