  Distinctive yet accessible, these full-color maps and graphics afford readers a unique view of current international affairs by translating key political, economic, and social indicators into readily grasped visual form.

  Unique and 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). In addition to the many topics covered in the previous edition -- population growth and migrations; pressures on the environment; military spending and the arms trade; racism and gender politics -- this new edition includes presentations on stock markets, state crimes, superpowerdom, ethnicity and multiculturalism, the Internet, digital media, and more. For a concise yet comprehensive survey of the world today, The State of the World Atlas is unmatched.
