Which nations have North Korean embassies? Which region has the
highest number of death metal bands per capita? How many
countries have bigger economies than California? Who drives on the
'wrong' side of the road? And where can you find lions in the wild?

Revelatory, thought-provoking and fun, Brilliant Maps is a unique

atlas of culture, history, politics and miscellanea, compiled by the
editor of the iconic Brilliant Maps website. As visually arresting as
Information is Beautiful and as full of surprising facts and figures as
any encyclopaedia, Brilliant Maps is a stunning piece of cartography
that maps our curious and varied planet.

For graphic design enthusiasts, compulsive Wikipedia readers and

those looking for the sort of gift they buy for someone else and wind
up keeping for themselves, this book will change the way you see
the world and your place in it.
