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
