Re: Cool Maps
Fascinating map, but also very misleading. Excellent example of how the human jumps to the mental shorthand of binary mode.
Less than 900 people per square mile black areas are assumed to be "un-populated," more than 900 people per square mile yellow areas are assumed to be "over-populated."
Kinda like red-state blue-state maps of the US.
Where the lines are drawn are yuge in deciphering the data.
Is it true that all the AGW temperature sensors are placed in yellow areas?

A single-detached home owned by a non-resident in the City of Vancouver, for example, was worth $3,638,500 on average, 26 per cent more than a resident’s home.

Re: Cool Maps
First thought: Only 953 hate groups in the US?!?! Sounds like a low count to me! Lazy bastards at SPLC!
There's probably at least 953 Christian religious denominations in the US. Add in height, weight, sex, age, skin color, income, region, hyphenated american groups, occupation, etc. Accurate count has to be closer to 10,000,000.
Second Thought: White Knights get to define hate groups. Hate groups are dragons.
Third thought: "You rubes need us White Knights to save you from the dragons. Send money!" probably works better than "I am a Nigerian Prince......."
Simplification: These are the 953 groups that people at SPLC hate and is targeting cause they want other people to hate them also.

Historical Atlas of the Eight Billion
EI1ho7JjXa4
From:
Historical Atlas of the Eight Billion: World Population History 3000 BCE to 2020 by John Carl Nelson (A World History Maps Book, 2014)
The maps and the presentation are absolutely fascinating and full of all sorts of wonderful details hard to pinpoint in more general books on population history, much less books which cover history in a broader sense.
I like the way the author divides the world up into 24 regions (e.g., Eastern North America; Western North America) and compares population trends in each over time.
He also provides lists of the world's most populous countries and cities for each of the different time periods he maps.
The author provides compare-at-a-glance statistical tables which show percentages of world population for various regions in each time period mapped and the really striking thing is that:
1. Over the last 5000 years South Asia and East Asia have each always contained approximately 25% of the world's total human population.
2. Europe (excluding Russia and Ukraine) currently has about 7% of the world's population, down from 14% in 1950 and 18% in 1900. Even in the aftermath of the collapse of Rome, Dark Ages Europe still held about 12% of the total. The last time it was below 10% was in ca. 1500 BC.

The Odyssey Map
A map of the locations in Homer's Odyssey
Men are so quick to blame the gods: they say that we devise their misery.
But they themselves - in their depravity - design grief greater than the griefs that fate assigns.

Pity Erdogan is so fixated on playing the "strong man" instead of positioning Turkey to again benefit from its location.
