What a great book crying out for an update....

This is an atlas put out by Oxford that depicts wonderfully global flows of everything from cars to copper. Inexplicably, it has not been updated since 1972 --and so much has changed since then.But that too, makes the old edition fun to look at --to see how much the world has changed. Eg, under global sales of autos, there are huge think bands emanating from michigan and reaching all around the globe denoting the volume of exports of autos from the US. The flows out of Europe are also very large. --And from Japan/Asia they are tiny. Korea I don't even think registered. What a difference a few years makes. I'd be interested to see what the flows are now, as so many Toyota plants [eg] are based in the US and other local markets.This book is crying out to get back into print. If by chance an Oxford editor reads this, I would suggest more attention to human labor force flows, and would include, by way of comparison, maps from the earlier edition ['then and now' comparisons].##
