Dalla quarta di copertina

Now in revised and expanded form and featuring 16 additional maps on the world's religious beliefs and the locations of their adherents around the world, this new edition of the award-winning and innovative atlas provides yet more insight into our world in all its complexity in an easily understood way. The Atlas of the RealWorld combines sophisticated software with comprehensive analysis of every aspect of life to represent the world as it really is. 382 digitally modified maps - known as cartograms - depict the areas and countries of the world not by their physical size but by their demographic importance on a vast range of comparative topics. This exceptionally innovative work is the resource for everyone who wants to understand our new globalized world, and for all those who have to look to the future, from businesses and politicans to individuals who simply want to comprehend our place in the rapidly changing world.
