Part of a must-have series for those interested in human geography! This poster-sized world map is featured in the National Geographic Atlas of the World, Tenth Edition , published to mark the 100th anniversary of National Geographic Cartography.
Human geography examines how human activity affects and is affected by the earth and its natural processes. How many people is too many? One billion, five billion...fifty billion? Few issues are as important for human well-being than the number of people on our planet consuming resources and space. This unique map boldly displays population density and the rate at which population has skyrocketed over the past century.
National population density, proportion of arable land, ranking populous countries and anticipating future population growth add extra context to an issue that will continue to dominate international relations for decades to come.
This map is found in National Geographic's 10th Edition World Atlas, and is now available as a stand alone product. A perfect companion to Climate: Shifting Winds and Weather and Urbanization: Moving Toward the City.
