Atlas of the Unseen. The world as we never knew it
49.99 €
Geographer James Cheshire and designer Oliver Uberti have turned disparate data into visual graphs, maps and charts that show trends in various areas of our lives. The atlas they created allows us to see realities that are usually hidden from our eyes: graphs of happiness in different countries, the level of daily workload of men and women, birth and death rates, and patterns of melting glaciers. Visualized data can be a useful tool for people in power. For example, information about Americans' automobile travel establishes more accurate boundaries of America's states than those marked on maps. And data on the routes of fishing boats provides a judgment on the legality of their activities, which helps combat illegal fishing. "Atlas of the Invisible" will show how global warming is destabilizing the atmosphere, how cell phone data reflects population migration, and where on the planet the most fires occur. These facts will provide new insights into the world around us and more responsible use of natural resources.
