"What would the world be without maps? How would we orientate ourselves? How would
we travel? How could we plan streets or entire cities? We encounter maps everywhere
in everyday life. But they can do much more than just represent the topography of
places. The geographer Simon Kustenmacher collects exciting, entertaining and useful
maps that open up a new perspective on the world in an extraordinary way. Where on
Earth do most people live? What does the world look like from a dolphin's point of
view? What did the world look like in the 17th century? Where in Europe were the last
executions carried out? And how much tip is expected in the different countries? All
maps represent our living environment in an unusual way, explain connections from
new perspectives and show how much fun data and facts are when they are presented
in a visually interesting way"--Publisher's description
