Welcome to the magical universe of Where on Earth? Atlas: The World As You've Never Seen It Before.

It's packed with more colorful infographics than a rainbow at a pride parade and enough trivia to impress your friends at parties-assuming you want to impress the wrong friends.

What can you expect inside this glorious book? Well, it starts with a captivating introduction to the seven continents. You'll realize that there's more to Africa than just safaris, and Australia isn't just full of kangaroos and a dangerously high number of spiders. DK takes us on a whirlwind tour, outlining bizarre facts about each continent. Did you know that in Antarctica, it's illegal to bring your pets? Talk about frosty relations!

As you flip through the pages, you'll encounter interactive features and mind-blowing visuals that explore everything from mountain ranges to the deep, mysterious oceans that cover most of the planet-because, let's face it, if you can't find Atlantis, you might as well dream about it, right? Each page invites you to dive deep into the peculiarities of our planet, with sections dedicated to the quirky and strange elements of geography.

There's also a delightful section on the wonders of the world that will make you want to grab your passport and book a flight-assuming you can find it in the clutter of your apartment. From the Great Wall of China, where you'll question your sense of direction, to the majestic pyramids of Egypt reminding you that you still haven't figured out how to draw a straight line, you'll find plenty of reasons to be in awe of this beautiful blue planet we call home.

And, of course, what would an atlas be without maps? This one has maps that are so eye-catching they might as well be featured in a gallery next to the Mona Lisa. If you thought only the classics could hang in a museum, think again. These maps help you visualize everything from climate zones to population density, so you can finally impress your friends with that random knowledge about the Sahara Desert being bigger than the entire United States. You're welcome!

So, whether you're a whimsical wanderer, an armchair traveler, or just someone who got lost on their way to the kitchen, Where on Earth? Atlas is here to enlighten you with facts and visuals that make our world feel exciting again.
