A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

New to Wayland's highly popular visual literacy programme, Mapographics uses maps as a vehicle to present a wide range of information in a graphic way. A combination of maps, colour coding and graphics give a local or global perspective on a topic, for example the global spread of languages and population, energy use worldwide, or inhabited and uninhabited areas of the planet. The series also looks at information such as the range of crops or jobs within a continent or country.

Each spread features a map focussing on one particular topic, supported by infographic panels full of related information. A question panel on each spread encourages readers to think in more depth about the topics discussed.
