Читать книгу The State of the World Atlas [ff] - Dan Smith - Страница 18

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The atlas is the work of a team. Jannet King has been the editor, assiduous

and detailed in her work, and respectful of a wayward author’s prerogatives.

Isabelle Lewis provides the basic cartographic design work without which

the whole atlas approach would be impossible, and throughout showed her

talent for coming up with innovative ways of displaying the information.

The overall look and feel of the atlas is down to the design coordination of

Corinne Pearlman. Candida Lacey ran and coordinated the Myriad team and

was always a joy to work with. Elizabeth Sarney was an extremely diligent

research assistant without whom the basic research for the atlas could not

have been done; she also offered insightful comment on the draft layouts for

displaying the data. Nicolle Nguyen made sure I stayed up to par on my day

job and was another source of comment and feedback on draft designs. Ilaria

Bianchi and Selena Mirams were a responsive focus group at a critical stage.

Åsa Frankenberg provided thoughtful reflections on the look and functioning

of the spreads, and was a source of strength throughout. Felix Smith-

Frankenberg reminded me of what life is about at moments when I thought

it only consisted of missed deadlines. I thank all of you unreservedly.
