Worldmapper in book form
Many of you will probably know the great global issues comparison site, WorldMapper. Well now, many of the maps included on the site have been reproduced in a book entitled: The Atlas of the Real World: Mapping the way we live by Daniel Dorling, Mark Newman and Anna Barford.
(Clicking on the image will take you to Amazon US)
It contains 366 digitally modified maps, or cartograms, depicting the areas and countries of the world not by their physical size but by their demographic importance on a vast range of subjects, ranging from population, health, wealth and occupation, to how many toys we import and who’s eating their vegetables.
Well worth pointing out to your librarians.
