New world atlas

With the world changing at the incredibly rapid rate it is it seems only fitting the paper/digital representations of it i.e. maps and such keep up with the changes.

Seems someone has. WorldMapper has produced an atlas that shows the world from a new perspective including: population, income, violence, transport etc. The atlas is skewed to accomodate these categories in a fancy ass way.

Some examples of their newest edition (population)

South Africa Population

 United Kingdom Population

 USA Population


As for violent deaths, we're not doing too well here in SA.

South Africa Violent Crime


Interesting stuff none the less, don't you think?
Check the rest out here, WorldMapper
