Full of facts that will confound you, inform you, and ultimately empower you, Terra Incognita guides readers to a new place of understanding, rather than to a physical location. The book traces the paths of peoples, cities, wars, climates and technologies, all on a global scale.
Learn about: fires in the arctic the impact of sea level rise on cities around the world the truth about immigration – and why fears in the West are a myth the counter-intuitive future of population rise the miracles of health and education that are waiting around the corner, and the reality about inequality, and how we end it. Based on decades of research, and combining mesmerising, state-of-the-art satellite maps with enlightening and passionately argued analysis, authors Ian Goldin and Robert Muggah chart humanity’s impact on the planet, and the ways in which we can make a real impact to save it, and to thrive as a species. But as Albert Einstein once said, ‘you can’t use old maps to explore a new world.’ And now, when the world is changing faster than ever before, our old maps are no longer fit for purpose. From the moment homo sapiens learnt to communicate we have used them to make sense of our surroundings.
