Population Map
A Different View of the World

What if you wanted to see a map representing the number of people per country rather than the land mass?

NOW YOU CAN in this superb new resource – the POPULATION MAP.

It’s a rich and easily memorable compilation of information, presented in striking graphics and fascinating text.

This map will help you make sense of the patterns of human life and provide a contrast with the media’s interpretation of world events.

It also includes many suggestions for other resources to help us better understand the world we live in.

This new map is a provocative and unique view of the world, representing people, not territory. The size of each country is shown in proportion to its population, not land mass. For example, on a conventional land-area world map, Indonesia is just a bunch of small islands, but the Population Map shows its significance as the fourth biggest nation on earth.

This novel view of the world was created by an editorial team including cartographers, population experts, graphic designers, as well as human rights, human resources, and political activists.

The map is enhanced by a series of thumbnail images at the bottom. The first image uses an equal-area projection map (the Hobo-Dyer) to enable the reader to compare the size of the land mass with the number people who live there, as shown on the main map image.

The Population Map also tracks demographic trends over time. Additional thumbnails include a series of informative images illustrating population density by continent throughout human history. This series of "snapshot" images shows where humans lived:

1. 100,000 years ago
2. at the time of the birth of Christ
3. at 1650 AD
4. at 1900 AD
5. population projections for the year 2150.

There is also a map of current population density, another quite different view of the world.

A superb new teaching resource that is a must for every home and classroom.
