The State of the World Atlas
New 9th edition forthcoming Fall 2012. See sample pages below.
'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
This highly acclaimed survey of today’s world is being completely revised and updated for 2012.
Over 100 full-color world maps and vivid graphics break down hardcore statistics into accessible, compelling form. And with those tested tools, this 9th edition will capture a world in flux – more democratic, more peaceful, but with the global balance of power shifting against the USA, with new security problems and the natural environment under threat.
