Beschreibung
A unique portrait of human society through visual storytelling. The award-winning geographic design team of James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti transforms vast datasets into vibrant maps and cutting-edge visualizations. In this triumph of visual storytelling, the authors reveal the truth about our past, show who we are today, and highlight what awaits us in the coming years. With their enthusiastic and curious approach, they explore levels of happiness in various corners of the world, track the underwater cables and transmitters that connect us, uncover hidden scars of geopolitics, and illustrate how global warming affects everything from hurricanes to the Hajj. Years in the making, the Atlas of the Invisible invites readers to admire the promise and peril of data and to marvel at the mysteries of the world. WINNER OF THE BRITISH CARTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY AWARD 2021 WINNER OF THE JOHN C.
