Should the United Kingdom be in or out of the European Union? Are people in the EU worried about losing their national identity? How important is politics in a European’s day-to-day life? In the run-up to the UK European referendum, which will decide whether or not this global power joins the EU, it is imperative that we understand Europe’s identity and boundaries—geopolitical, sociopolitical, and otherwise.

Written by leading international experts in human geography, this timely atlas explores Europe’s society, culture, economy, politics, and environment using the latest data and state-of-the-art geographic information system and mapping techniques. Heavily illustrated with maps that cover over eighty topics—ranging from life expectancy to greenhouse gas emissions, Gross Domestic Product, and Eurovision Song Contest voting—The Human Atlas of Europe is packed with innovative features, including short introductions to each topic and infographic summaries of key (and often surprisingly revealing) statistics, such as soccer league table scores. Though accessible to a general reader, the atlas offers a wealth of insight into fundamental questions of social cohesion and sustainable growth that are of the utmost importance as Europe continues to recover from the 2008 economic crisis. Geographical and state boundaries,The Human Atlas of Europe reveals, only tell part of the story; in fact, Europeans live in a far more cohesive continent than they realize.

Recenzijos

"An essential catalyst for teacher-pupil discussions, and an authoritative source of information as we move towards a post-Brexit world." Living Geography "A truly fascinating book which explores in a state of the art, visual way a whole series of topics about European life, societies and populations. The book combines clear text and infographics to present an innovative way of thinking about, and seeing, Europe, in all its rich diversity and surprising cohesion. Packed with information about an array of key challenges currently facing Europe." Susan Millns, University of Sussex "A visually stunning atlas, the best of art and information combined. Although worthy of standing on its own, it also provides an indispensable companion to the social, economic, and political changes sweeping Europe." Rachel S. Franklin, Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences (S4), Brown University "An effective and engaging atlas of Europe" The Society of Cartographers Bulletin A stimulating and unique perspective to the understanding of Europe as a political entity facing identity and culture challenges at a time of great crisis. Pierre Vercauteren, Université Catholique de Louvain Post Berlin-Wall Europe is a continent united by its common geography and the EU. This outstanding work gives answers to the economic challenges and inequalities between its different regions to help forge a common destiny. Committed Europeans will read it as a work of self-knowledge. Gazmend Kapllani, author of A Short Border Handbook "A fascinating, accessible and timely guide to modern Europe, providing an essential toolkit for understanding the continent post-Brexit." Dawn Foster, The Guardian `Think you know Europe? Think again: this is a captivating window on the deeper realities of the Europe we share. Kevin Featherstone, European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science "Both scientifically extremely valuable and ethically intriguing and challenging, as it tackles our representation of the territory from a human and social perspective.'' Sergiu Miscoiu, Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca "An exceptional contribution to our understanding of who we are as Europeans. When we look at Europe from the outside, we find much more in common than divides us. This book traces the contours of those commonalities and brings them to life." Roger Casale, Founder and CEO, New Europeans
