From the Preface:

"For centuries, atlases depicted what people could see: roads, rivers, mountains. Today, we need graphics to reveal the invisible patterns that shape our lives. Atlas of the Invisible is an ode to the unseen, to a world of information that cannot be conveyed through text or numbers alone."

Praise for Where the Animals Go:

"A striking example of how innovative technology can be used to increase our understanding of the natural world."
--Alan Smith, Financial Times

"An enthralling volume, downright gorgeous in its illustrations and text."
--Barbara J. King, NPR

"Beautiful as well as inspiring."
--Dr. Jane Goodall

"A combination of the best in science and exposition, and a joy to study cover to cover."
--E. O. Wilson
