What you will find inside
An atlas of every country on Earth: 196 countries in seven chapters, from the largest to the smallest. Each country has a card that follows the same order, so you can move between countries easily and compare them as you like. Every card holds photographs, a map, sourced figures, and stories you will not find in an ordinary atlas.
In every card
01The opener
- A large photograph to open the door
- The name in its own language, and how to say it
- A greeting in a word
- The story of the flag, and a map
- Its size compared with Jordan
02The story
- A scene or a tale to begin
- The land and its regions
- The people and their celebrations
- The kitchen and its dishes by name
03The soul
- The best known landmarks
- A book, a song and a film
- What it gave the world
- Surprises and a proverb
- Five dates that made it
04The photographs

What you take away
- 01The whole world
Every country given the same care: Vatican City, which you can cross on foot in under an hour, and Russia, which spans eleven time zones.
- 02Easy comparison
The same order in every card, so any two countries can be compared in seconds, with each one sized against Jordan.
- 03People, not just numbers
How people greet each other in the morning, what they cook for their feasts, and which proverb they repeat when life gets hard.
- 04Facts you can trust
Every figure comes from a reliable source with its year beside it, and every photograph is licensed and credited at the back.
