Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before

this site contains maps that scale according to concentrations or distributions. here are a few example:

cars:

Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before

televisions in use

Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before

books published (1999 data)

Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before

concentration of wealth, 2002

Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before

projected concentration of wealth, 2015

Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before

on the main page, go to categories, thumbnails or index and cruise around.
great stuff.

i found this website here:

Maps that Matter

which is a collection of influential/conceptually interesting maps.
also a fine thing. many points of interest.
