Review: New Views by Alastair Bonnett. 

I know a fictional book is going to be good when it includes a map, so I was intrigued by a book that’s a collection of them, and I am glad I was. Covering a wide range of different topics, New Views gives a glimpse on a variety of different ideas that kept me reading. 

What I like about this book is that it makes you think. Maps such as the ‘Rebounding Land’ maps certainly make you wonder who does own the land when land is being created or changed? And asks more questions about how we treat our planet and whether we should be doing more to protect it, particularly when these maps are combined with graphs such as the one showing the global temperature rising. 

This book is mindblowing in moments and thoughtful in others, maps which show just how much of the ocean is left unexplored fascinate me and others such as the ‘Air Flight’ map certainly show the inequalities that exist still when it comes to economies around the world and access to air travel that’s slowly changing.

I learnt so much from this book and recommend it for anyone who really is into planet Earth, and I like to think we all are.

(I received an ARC from Netgalley for this book in exchange for a honest review).
