A keenly anticipated follow up to the perennially popular Brilliant Maps and Brilliant Maps in the Wild, this new book of 100 eye-catching maps illuminates the globe in fun and unexpected ways.

Which country doesn't have a national football team?
Where is the town with no wifi?
Who travelled further on tour: Taylor Swift or Coldplay?
Which are the world's noisiest cities?
How many countries are wider than the moon?

Maps don't just show us where we are, they show us how we live. They reveal unexpected connections between far-flung places, they show how history has shaped geography, and they uncover fascinating facts that will spark your curiosity.

This stunning collection of 100 maps will take you on a unique visual journey through history, geography, identity sport, the arts, technology, space, and more. If you have ever wondered how many dinosaurs would fit the length of Vatican city, where to go diving for shipwrecked treasure, or which country imports the most ketchup, this is the book for you.
