Our universe is brimming with secrets, and surprising curiosities. Here readers will learn the answers to all the questions they've asked themselves: What does the Sun look like fr om different planets in our galaxy? Why doesn't the Moon always appear the same? What is the largest river on Earth? And the highest mountain? In Geo-Graphics, our world becomes transformed by acclaimed artist Regina Gimenez, into 96 pages of gorgeous shapes and colours. Planets and stars, continents and islands, rivers and lakes, volcanos and hurricanes...here they are presented as circles, polygons, lines, spirals, and accompanying facts that explain the world around us. This special and unusual atlas is a marriage of science and art like no other.Regina Gimenez has always been captivated by old atlases, and their beautiful pictures and maps. As a child she scanned through these big books, voraciously looking for facts about the Earth. In recent years, as an acclaimed artist in her home city of Barcelona, she has returned to these images to transform them into magnificent prints, brimming with colour. Show more
