More Brilliant Maps | An All-New Atlas for Curious Minds
- Description
The World Is Much Stranger Than You Think.
Maps can tell you where you are. But the really good ones tell you how we live, what we eat, where we've been and all sorts of things you didn't know you desperately needed to know.
More Brilliant Maps: An All-New Atlas for Curious Minds brings together 100 fascinating maps that reveal the world in wonderfully unexpected ways.
Ever wondered how many dinosaurs would fit along the length of Vatican City? Where you should go diving for shipwrecked treasure? Or which country imports the most ketchup?
Of course you have.
And now there's a map for that.
100 Ways to Look at the World
Far more than a traditional atlas, More Brilliant Maps uses clever cartography to uncover unexpected connections between countries, explore the relationship between history and geography and reveal fascinating facts about the way we live.
Some maps will make you think.
Others will make you laugh.
And quite a few will have you calling someone else into the room with, "You have to see this."
