Great visual representations of data some familiar and some not so.

Starts out with a diagram of where the earth fits in within the universe, moving from our local system, to the galaxy, all the way up to our place among the "Superclusters". That puts you in your place quite nicely, as the rest of the book fills you in on the state of our world.

Our physical world is first up, and all of the cartoonish illustrations are wonderful, working here and throughout the rest of the exploration (People, Power Industry, Connections and Reference)

Lots of fun to read, and easy to pick up for just a few pages at a time.

Highly recommended.
