ReviewsPraise for the 8th edition of The Penguin State of the World Atlas : "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." -- The New York Times "Unique and uniquely beautiful . . . A single map here tells us more about the world today than a dozen abstracts or scholarly tomes." -- Los Angeles Times "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 "Packed with fascinating facts and figures on everything from the international drugs industry to climate change." -- Evening Standard

SynopsisThe State of the World Atlas is an accessible, unique visual survey of current events and global trends, highlighting the international scope and complexity of many challenges facing the humanity today. With a bold new design, this distinctive atlas presents the latest statistics on international trade and migration, the globalization of work, aging and new health risks (up to and including the COVID-19 pandemic), food and water, energy resources and consumption, literacy, gender equality, wars and peacekeeping, and more. And for the newest edition, special attention has been brought to the way that all of these issues are affected by the ongoing climate crisis. Fascinating, troubling, and surprising, this is an important resource for anyone who seeks to better understand the world around them.
