Atlas of the Invisible
Discover the hidden patterns in human society as you have never seen them before - through the world of data
In Atlas of the Invisible, award-winning geographer-designer team James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti redefine what an atlas can be. Transforming enormous data sets into rich maps and cutting-edge vizualisations, they uncover truths about our past, reflect who we are today, and highlight what we face in the years ahead. With their joyfully inquisitive approach, Cheshire and Uberti explore happiness and anxiety levels around the globe; they trace the undersea cables and cell towers that connect us; they examine hidden scars of geopolitics; and illustrate how a warming planet affects everything from hurricanes to the hajj.
Years in the making, Atlas of the Invisible invites readers to marvel at the promise and peril of data, and to revel in the secrets and contours of a newly visible world.
Atlas neviditeľného
Jedinečný portrét ľudskej spoločnosti formou vizuálneho rozprávania
Oceňovaný geograficko-dizajnérsky tím James Cheshire a Oliver Uberti premieňa rozsiahle súbory dát na pestré mapy a špičkové vizualizácie. V tomto triumfe vizuálneho rozprávania príbehov autori odhaľujú pravdu o našej minulosti, ukazujú, kto sme dnes, a upozorňujú na to, čo náš čaká v nasledujúcich rokoch. Svojím entuziastickým a zvedavým prístupom skúmajú úroveň šťastia v rôznych kútoch sveta, sledujú podmorské káble a vysielače, ktoré nás spájajú, odkrývajú skryté jazvy geopolitiky a ilustrujú, ako otepľovanie planéty ovplyvňuje všetko od hurikánov až po hadždž.
Dlhé roky pripravovaný Atlas neviditeľného pozýva čitateľov obdivovať prísľub a nebezpečenstvo údajov a pokochať sa tajomstvami sveta.

In London: The Information Capital, geographer James Cheshire and designer Oliver Uberti join forces to bring you a series of new maps and graphics charting life in London like never before
When do police helicopters catch criminals? Which borough of London is the happiest? Is 'czesc' becoming a more common greeting than 'salaam'? James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti could tell you, but they'd rather show you. By combining millions of data points with stunning design, they investigate how flights stack over Heathrow, who lives longest, and where Londoners love to tweet. The result? One hundred portraits of an old city in a very new way.
Dr James Cheshire is a geographer with a passion for London and its data. His award-winning maps draw from his research as a lecturer at University College London and have appeared in theGuardian and the Financial Times, as well as on his popular blog, mappinglondon.co.uk. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
Oliver Uberti is a visual journalist, designer, and the recipient of many awards for his information graphics and art direction. From 2003 to 2012, he worked in the design department of National Geographic, most recently as Senior Design Editor. He has a design studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
