The World Like You've Never Seen It Before: Worldmapper


A colleague just sent me a link to this cool website that has a slew of world maps with countries drawn in proportion to various categories. A few of these are biological and pretty cool. The one shown here is a map of species at risk.

Well, *I'd* never seen that site before and I thought it was pretty darn cool.

If you're into unusual visualizations, you might also like the Flowing Data and Information Aesthetics blogs. I look at them periodically to get ideas for figures for papers or talks.
