From the Inside Flap

Praise for Dan Smith's other atlases:

"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

"A compact, versatile and politically imaginative work of reference."--New Statesman
