The Atlas of the Real World: Mapping the Way we Live

Had the privilege of looking at an advance copy of the book in the previous post this morning. I will blog more about this once the book has been published, but it's a print-based version of the very useful WORLDMAPPER site, plus additional material.

For more STRANGE MAPS (and wonderful ones too), check this blog, which had a wonderful device on a recent post:
It's a very early 'sat nav', which the user presumably scrolled through as they made their journey. Not so good if there was a detour though...
I bought a Garmin SatNav for my new job, to which some people said "you're a geographer - what do you need one of those for ?", but actually, when you're trying to find Manchester University in the rush hour you can't be unfolding streetmaps at the wheel...
