Praise for previous editions:

“The State of the World Atlas is something else – an occasion

of wit and an act of subversion…These are the bad dreams

of the modern world, given color and shape and submitted

to a grid that can be grasped instantaneously.”

New York Times

“Unique and uniquely beautiful...a discerning eye for

data and a flair for the most sophisticated techniques of

stylized graphic design; the atlas succeeds in displaying the

geopolitical subtleties of global affairs in a series of dazzling

color plates…tells us more about the world today than a

dozen statistical abstracts or scholarly tomes.”

Los Angeles Times

“Coupled with an unusual non-distorting map projection and

a series of brilliant cartographic devices, this gives a positively

dazzling set of maps. It deserves to be widely used.”

New Society

“A super book that will not only sit on your shelf begging

to be used, but will also be a good read. To call this book an

atlas is like calling Calvados, applejack – it may be roughly

accurate but it conveys nothing of the richness and flavour of

the thing. Its inventive brilliance deserves enormous rewards.”

New Scientist

“A striking new approach to cartography...no-one wishing

to keep a grip on the reality of the world should be without

these books.”

International Herald Tribune

“Outspoken cataloguing of global oppressions and inequities,

painstakingly sourced.”

Independent on Sunday

“Packed with fascinating facts and figures on everything from

the international drugs industry to climate change.”

Evening Standard

“A political reference book which manages to translate hard,

boring statistics into often shocking visual statements...

required reading.”
