Penguin Books Ltd Antarctic Atlas: New Maps and Graphics That Tell
Book SynopsisA FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020SHORTLISTED FOR THE ESTWA AWARD FOR ILLUSTRATED TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022One of the least-known places on the planet, the only continent on earth with no indigenous population, Antarctica is a world apart. From a leading cartographer with the British Antarctic Survey, this new collection of maps and data reveals Antarctica as we have never seen it before.This is not just a book of traditional maps. It measures everything from the thickness of ice beneath our feet to the direction of ice flows. It maps volcanic lakes, mountain ranges the size of the Alps and gorges longer than the Grand Canyon, all hidden beneath the ice. It shows us how air bubbles trapped in ice tell us what the earth's atmosphere was like 750,000 years ago, proving the effects of greenhouse gases. Colonies of emperor penguins abound around the coastline, and the journeys of individual seals around the continent and down to the sea bed in search of food have been intricately tracked and mapped. Twenty-nine nations have research stations in Antarctica and their unique architecture is laid out here, along with the challenges of surviving in Antarctica'sunforgiving environment.Antarctica is also the frontier of our fight against climate change. If its ice melts, it will swamp almost every coastal city in the world. Antarctic Atlas illustrates the harsh beauty and magic of this mysterious continent, and shows how, far from being abstract, it has direct relevance to us all.Trade ReviewThese mesmerising maps offer sparklingly clear prospects of an otherwise almost incomprehensible terrain * The Spectator *Tells the story of Antarctica in maps and shows the continent in ways never seen before * Cambridge Independent *A cartographer and scientist with the British Antarctic Survey, Fretwell has created 70 new maps each revealing different aspects of the icy continent. We learn the locations of the "pole of ignorance", the world's driest place, and the largest penguin colonies, but also about the human history and politics of the region and - alarmingly - what Antarctica might look like once all the ice is gone. * Financial Times *Shows Antarctica in wonderful detail ... Peter Fretwell tells the tale of Antarctica through a collection of carefully constructed maps setting out the continent's geology, people and nature -- Gege Li * New Scientist *A collection of maps and data from a leading cartographer seen in a new and fresh way ... really informative -- Sandra Pereira * Portugal News *

Urban Good London Flipped
Book SynopsisWith beautiful colours - using Pantone fluorescent and metallic inks - this map challenges even the most familiar with the capital''s cartography. It is a true, topographical map covering the whole of London and its surrounds, but rotated 180 degrees and drawn at a scale of one inch to the mile. With south at the top and north at the bottom, this map is sure to please the topsy-turvy, but really it helps people to reimagine the capital without the natural bias of North. Printed in the same format as Ordnance Survey Explorer maps, over a meter wide, this paper map will look great on a wall or in the readers hands. Every station is marked and labelled along with hundreds of the key parks, woods and open spaces across the city. The waterways, lakes and ponds are drawn in gold. A great gift for anyone London-curious.

Lars Muller Publishers Ultimate Atlas: Logbook of Spaceship Earth
Book SynopsisWith Ultimate Atlas, Theo Deutinger—architect, designer and author of the acclaimed Handbook of Tyranny— illustrates the basic data of Earth and its inhabitants to create a total portrait of the planet. How can we keep track of everything that happens on the Earth? How can we share this information with its inhabitants, despite their different languages and cultural backgrounds? Expanding on the visions of Buckminster Fuller and Stewart Brand, Ultimate Atlas answers these questions by radically levelling graphic data. Breaking down planet earth into 12 sections, the book gives a page spread to information pertaining to themes like ethnic groups, religions, nuclear warheads, and number of motor vehicles per country. The white pages of the book are divided by vertical black lines, in decreasing percentages from left to right. In this way Ultimate Atlas charts the planet with an impressive simplicity and clarity. The territorial size of Earth’s countries; the planet’s most commonly spoken languages; the places where the most chickens are raised; all this information is lucidly displayed for ready comprehension. Here is truly “planet earth in a book.”
