Discover the hidden patterns in human society as you have never seen them before – through the world of data
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 vizualisations, 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.

Can thoroughly recommend this for its unique approach to representing maps of the world with well written text and graphic design.
It appears that the first print UK edition (978-1846149719) is no longer available and Amazon are now offering the US edition (978-0393651515). The US edition has the red background behind the title text on the cover. The US edition is also listed as having 8 more pages than the UK edition (224 compared to 216). Not sure if they added extra content for the US market or the extra pages are just how the book is put together for the US with additional publishing notes in the front and back matter, but according to the official website of the book “the US & UK editions are identical except for their covers and publishers”. Both use British spellings and metric units”.

This is an inspiring book looking at the world in a very different way using mapping techniques to do so. Really makes you reflect and think about the way things are organised.
