TERRA INCOGNITA - ROBERT MUGGAH IAN GOLDIN GEBU...

'Amazing. It would be my desert island choice' Martin Rees 'Fascinating  beautiful  alarming
and revelatory use of mapping and infographics' Stephen Fry on EarthTime maps 'An indispensable
read' Arianna Huffington From the global impact of the Coronavirus to exploring the vast spread
of the Australian bushfires  join authors Ian Goldin and Robert Muggah as they trace the ways
in which our world has changed and the ways in which it will continue to change over the next
hundred years. Map-making is an ancient impulse. From the moment homo sapiens learnt to
communicate we have used them to make sense of our surroundings. But as Albert Einstein once
said  'you can't use old maps to explore a new world.' And now  when the world is changing
faster than ever before  our old maps are no longer fit for purpose. Welcome to Terra
Incognita. Based on decades of research  and combining mesmerising  state-of-the-art satellite
maps with enlightening and passionately argued analysis  Ian and Robert chart humanity's impact
on the planet  and the ways in which we can make a real impact to save it  and to thrive as a
species. Learn about: fires in the arctic  the impact of sea level rise on cities around the
world  the truth about immigration - and why fears in the West are a myth  the
counter-intuitive future of population rise  the miracles of health and education that are
waiting around the corner  and the reality about inequality  and how we end it. The book traces
the paths of peoples  cities  wars  climates and technologies  all on a global scale. Full of
facts that will confound you  inform you  and ultimately empower you  Terra Incognita guides
readers to a new place of understanding  rather than to a physical location.
