Geographer James Cheshire and designer Oliver Uberti have turned disparate data into compelling graphs, maps, and charts that reflect trends in different areas of our lives. The atlas they created allows us to see a reality that is usually hidden from our eyes: charts of happiness in different countries, the level of daily workload of men and women, birth and death rates, patterns of melting glaciers. Visualized data can be a useful tool for people in power. For example, information about American car trips establishes more precise boundaries of the states of America than those indicated on the maps. And data on the routes of fishing vessels make it possible to judge the legality of their activities, which contributes to the fight against illegal fishing. The Atlas of the Invisible will show how global warming is destabilizing the atmosphere, how mobile phone data reflects population migration, and where the world's fires are most common. These facts will allow us to take a fresh look at the world around us and treat natural resources more responsibly.
