Synopsis
This visually exciting book takes a unique look at our globe from the perspective of art, culture, and sports. Using an innovative design, maps are populated by infographics, graphs, and icons to represent information and statistics about a subject in a very visual way. This aids readers in comparing and contrasting the same subjects in different parts of the world. Each spread explores one subject in-depth, such as what the relationship is between fashion producers and consumers, who the most-read authors are around the world, how a country's education rates compare to their amount of Nobel Prize laureates, and which foods and drinks are most popular in different cultures.

From School Library Journal
Gr 6–8—Infographics such as charts, graphs, lists, and other symbolic representations are superimposed on world maps to depict the physical world and the many ways that humans inhabit and have changed it. Using current statistical information, the books have 13 spreads that illustrate various geographic concepts about landforms and natural resources, production and consumption of goods, populations, societal and technological advances, educational levels, and cultural and entertainment trends. Maps and graphics are well designed with clear legends and keys. Text is limited to brief introductory paragraphs and photo captions. An opening "World in 100 People" circle graph highlights trends based upon total world percentages, and a closing "Mapping the World" page defines map types. This innovative format clearly illustrates geographic models and the vast diversity of the physical, cultural, and economic environments around the world. VERDICT Good supplemental choices.
