Description

WITH A FOREWORD BY TIM HARFORD
See the world anew with this unique and beautifully designed infographic atlas

Which nations have North Korean embassies?
Which region has the highest number of death metal bands per capita?
How many countries have bigger economies than California?
Who drives on the ‘wrong’ side of the road?
And where can you find lions in the wild?

Revelatory, thought-provoking and fun, Brilliant Maps is a unique atlas of culture, history, politics and miscellanea, compiled by the editor of the iconic Brilliant Maps website. As visually arresting as Information is Beautiful and as full of surprising facts and figures as any encyclopaedia, Brilliant Maps is a stunning piece of cartography that maps our curious and varied planet.

For graphic design enthusiasts, compulsive Wikipedia readers and those looking for the sort of gift they buy for someone else and wind up keeping for themselves, this book will change the way you see the world and your place in it.
