WINNER OF THE BRITISH CARTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY AWARDWINNER OF THE STANFORDS AWARD FOR PRINTED MAPPINGWINNER OF THE JOHN C BARTHOLOMEW AWARD FOR THEMATIC MAPPINGDiscover the hidden patterns in human society as you have never seem them before - through the world of dataHumans create data with nearly everything we do. This world of information is invisible, but it shapes society in profound ways.In Atlas of the Invisible, award-winning geographer-designer team James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti redefine what an atlas can be. Transforming enormous data sets into rich maps and cutting-edge visualisations, they uncover truths about our past, reflect who we are today, and highlight what we face in the years ahead. With their joyfully inquisitive approach, Cheshire and Uberti explore happiness and anxiety levels around the globe; they trace the undersea cables and cell towers that connect us; they examine hidden scars of geopolitics; and illustrate how a warming planet affects everything from hurricanes to the hajj.Years in the making, Atlas of the Invisible invites readers to marvel at the promise and peril of data, and to revel in the secrets and contours of a newly visible world.

In The Hidden Nations of Animals, Ryan Huling takes us on an odyssey to places most people don't even know exist. From far-flung forest settlements in Canada's 'beaver belt' and disputed territories of clashing Argentine ant armies to the secluded margins of the Korean DMZ - which, despite its reputation as a desolate no-man's-land, teems with life - Huling's journey unveils a radically reimagined world, brimming with abundance. Along the way, we meet internationally renowned wildlife researchers, geographers, anthropologists, and historians whose work has uncovered animal metropolises nestled within the urban sprawl of the American Southwest, vast sub-Saharan tunnel complexes mere inches beneath our feet, and ancient Silk Road-style migration routes that traverse the Eurasian Steppe. When humans settle in an area, it is deemed, by definition, populated. By contrast, the millions of other species we share this planet with have long been viewed as fleeting ephemera, living brief and transitory lives in 'uninhabited' wilderness. Over the course of a year, Huling investigates how technology is rapidly changing that perception by deepening humanity's understanding of our fellow animals and their unique relationships with the land, air, and sea. His immersive account fuses with vivid full-colour maps and hand-drawn sketches by award-winning cartographer Oliver Uberti, adding new layers to our landscapes and illuminating their true contours for the first time. An instant classic of nature writing, The Hidden Nations of Animals is a breathtaking blueprint for a more expansive view of animalkind, inspired by the profound sense of awe that accompanies an expedition into unknown lands.
