Now available in paperback, this reference book has everything we need to make sense of today's world. 366 digitally modified maps - known as cartograms - depict the areas and countries of the world by their demographic importance on a vast range of topics, ranging from basic data on population, health, wealth and occupation to how many toys we import and who's eating their vegetables. Created by the team behind worldmapper.org, The Atlas of the Real World book is an invaluable resource for home reference, schools, universities, journalists and trend-spotting professionals everywhere.
Daniel Dorling is Professor of Human Geography at the University of Sheffield, UK.
