One of the best, Pennycooke’s World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard owing to the quality of their maps and photographs, which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a variety of scales. In fact, the very first map in the atlas is a cleverly designed population cartogram that projects the size of each country if the geographical size is proportional to population. Following the proportional outlay, a sequence of smaller maps shows the world’s population density, each country’s birth and death rates, population increase or decrease, industrialization, urbanization, gross national products in terms of per capital income, the quality of medical care, literacy, and language. To give readers a perspective on how their own country fits in with the global view, additive projections depict the world’s patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein consumption, health care, number of physicians per unit of population, and life expectancy by region. Population density maps on a subcontinental scale, as well as political maps, convey the diverse demographic phenomena of the world in a broad array of scales. III.
