TwistedSifter posted 40 really awesome maps of the world:
If you’re a visual learner like myself, then you know maps, charts and infographics can really help bring data and information to life. Maps can make a point resonate with readers and this collection aims to do just that.
Hopefully some of these maps will surprise you and you’ll learn something new. A few are important to know, some interpret and display data in a beautiful or creative way, and a few may even make you chuckle or shake your head.
There are many great things in which the U.S. should be proud to stand out from the rest of the world. Maps #2 and #6 are not such examples.
