October 2015 Non-Fiction Book of the Month.
Maps – but not as we know them... Some of Martin Vargic's intricate constructions such as his World map of stereotypes have gone viral, others have been specially compiled for this book. There are 2 elaborate gatefolds and the subjects include everything from the preponderance of heavy metal in the world to leading causes of death. Martin Vargic's maps underpin the idea of our globalised world, the spread of popular culture and some of the fall-outs we suffer in our media driven lives. Beautifully made, the maps have some of the flavour of the medieval “Here be Dragons” creations, reflecting our world and culture in a novel and entertaining way that also gives us pause for thought. ~ Sue Baker
