- Reading
- Browse by whichever map or graphic first catches your interest, then follow its labels and comparisons. Pause over unfamiliar measures and discuss what information they communicate.
- Themes
- Human activity and global systems: Maps and visual data cover subjects including transport of goods, international call lines, freshwater access, space missions and palm-oil production and trade. The work presents a broad informational survey of how human activity and systems vary around the world.
- Worth knowing
- Some topics connect goods and infrastructure with wider human and environmental effects; palm-oil production and trade are specifically linked to effects on people and the environment.
