AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 WAYS - STEPHEN WEBB KART...

Around the World in 80 Ways offers a (sometimes opinionated) discussion of 80 data-driven maps
of our planet. Taken together  the maps tell a story about the physical world  about the impact
our species is having on the world  and about how people live in the world - or at least how we
lived immediately before the emergence of Covid-19. The maps lie. All maps lie. But the origins
of the deceptions are explained  the data sources are signposted and referenced  and the
readers are shown how to create their own maps using freely available software. The reader is
thus armed with the tools needed to explore local  national or world data - on topics ranging
from science to society  environment to entertainment  wealth to wellbeing - a valuable skill
in an age when certain politicians are happy to refer to alternative facts and media outlets
deliver data visualizations that sometimes mislead as much as inform.
