'Turn the pages to revel in the techno-tracking that is revealing the secrets of animal lives. This is science at its best, the art of understanding truth and beauty' - Chris Packham

'Enchanting and exhilarating ... Where the Animals Gois an eye-opening exercise in perspective that puts place and space at the heart of the 21st-century conservation debate' - Literary Review

From the best-selling authors of London: The Information Capitalcomes the first book to use big data to map the movements and behaviour of wild animals all over the world

For thousands of years, tracking animals meant following footprints. Now satellites, drones, camera traps, cellphone networks, apps and accelerometers allow us to see the natural world like never before. Geographer James Cheshire and designer Oliver Uberti take you to the forefront of this animal-tracking revolution. Meet the scientists gathering wild data - from seals mapping the sea to baboons making decisions, from birds dodging tornadoes to jaguars taking selfies. Join the journeys of sharks, elephants, bumblebees, snowy owls, and a wolf looking for love. Find an armchair, cancel your plans and go where the animals go.

[Praise for London: The Information Capital] 'The book is infinitely compelling, one you'll return to time and again, and full of 'wow, you have to see this' moments. It reinforces the notion that information really can be beautiful...' Londonist

[Praise for London: The Information Capital] 'Brilliantly compelling...The InformationCapitalis a tour de force in the modern use of graphics to make a point' London Evening Standard
