Atlas Inutile de Paris by Vincent Périat

This delightful little book is a collection of identical schematic maps of Paris (one per page) with overlayed data visualisations. There are 100 maps in the book, ranging from trivial topics such as the most frequent paths of joggers in Paris (map #25) to the historical, such as the successive walls of Paris and their locations (map #29) to the downright weird, such as the concentration of foxes in Paris (map #52). I love this book, it's not only amazing trivia, but also great inspiration.
