Full disclosure, I'm on the board of this organization and have a map in
the atlas. (Also, apologies for cross-posting.)

That said, I think this is an amazing project. Guerrilla Cartography has
been working on "Water: an atlas" for 2.5 years and literally hundreds of
volunteers have contributed their time and talents to getting it to this
point. Some of the maps are absolutely visually stunning and all of them
tell a good story! Check out the Kickstarter page and the GC website
<http://www.guerrillacartography.org/> to learn more and support the
project.

Thanks!

Susan
