Distinctive yet accessible, these full-color maps & graphics afford readers a unique view of current international affairs by translating key political, economic & social indicators into readily grasped visual form. "Unique & uniquely beautiful," previous editions of this atlas have told us "more about the world today than a dozen statistical abstracts or scholarly tomes" (Los Angeles Times). Topics covered in this edition include population growth, migrations, pressures on the environment, military spending, the arms trade, racism & gender politics. For a concise yet comprehensive survey of the world today, The State of the World Atlas is unmatched.
