The Atlas of the Real World - Mapping the way we live
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 subjects ranging from population, health, wealth and occupation. This book presents country statistics in the form of a map where the size of the country is adjusted to the data. This means the shapes of the countries are distorted to fit the data.
A great book that really opens your eyes to the inequalities of this world.
