The magic of the Essential Geography is that its unique cartographic style lets you visualize land, water and humanity’s elaborate footprint, including abundant names and elevations, all in a single glance. This magic lets you visualize geography at an entirely-new level. I believe if the whole world were cartographically illustrated in this clear and aesthetic way, and at many scales, geographic appreciation would take hold, like literacy took hold with the invention of movable type. 

You can appreciate United States geography at an all-new level right now, and help start the transformation to a human race that appreciates our entire garden of a planet, and all its amazing people, through the loving eyes of good-old geography.
