Reviews for The State of the World Atlas

* 'Unique and uniquely beautiful - a single map here tells us more about the world today than a dozen statistical abstracts or scholarly tomes' New York 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
