Synopsis
Award-winning geographer-designer team James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti transform enormous datasets into rich maps and cutting-edge visualizations. In this triumph of visual storytelling, they uncover truths about our past, reveal who we are today, and highlight what we face in the years ahead. With their joyfully inquisitive approach, Cheshire and Uberti explore happiness levels around the globe, trace the undersea cables and cell towers that connect us, examine hidden scars of geopolitics, and illustrate how a warming planet affects everything from hurricanes to the hajj. Years in the making, Atlas of the Invisible invites readers to marvel at the promise and peril of data, and to revel in the secrets and contours of a newly visible world.
Winner of the 2021 British Cartographic Society Awards including the Stanfords Award for Printed Mapping and the John C. Bartholomew Award for Thematic Mapping.

From the Back Cover
From the Preface:
"For centuries, atlases depicted what people could see: roads, rivers, mountains. Today, we need graphics to reveal the invisible patterns that shape our lives. Atlas of the Invisible is an ode to the unseen, to a world of information that cannot be conveyed through text or numbers alone."
Praise for Where the Animals Go:
"A striking example of how innovative technology can be used to increase our understanding of the natural world."
--Alan Smith, Financial Times
"An enthralling volume, downright gorgeous in its illustrations and text."
--Barbara J. King, NPR
"Beautiful as well as inspiring."
--Dr. Jane Goodall
"A combination of the best in science and exposition, and a joy to study cover to cover."
--E. O. Wilson
