A talented young man has compiled a series of quirky maps showing data from across the world – from military conflicts and beer prices to the causes of death. 

Martin Vargic's fascinating maps show the world's vital statistics all compiled in his new book, 'Vargic's Miscellany of Curious Maps: Mapping Out the Modern World'.

The 17-year-old graphic designer from Slovakia, who plans to start a career in business next year, said he puts the maps together in his spare time.

Martin said all the maps are created in Photoshop and he uses data from a number of sources including the World Health Organization and the World Life Expectancy site.
