Globalography attempts to explore individual examples that reveal how the new globalized world really operates. This book contains 50 double spread, full colour maps that reveal the many ways in which we now connect with each other across the globe. This book illustrates the radical way globalization is transforming out world. Each map is accompanied by a brief article (also spread over 2 pages) that usually contains statistics and that I found somewhat superficial in most cases. I felt that some of the map legends could have been clearer in terms of the statistics they were representing. The 50 topics include such items as bananas, tourism, uranium, football players, wind energy, messenger apps, skyscrapers, cinema, cocoa, car exports, honey etc. This is a cute, colourful and interesting coffee table book that one buys for the pictures, not the text.

This book was received from NetGalley in exchange for a review. This is my honest opinion of the book. ( )
