About the maps:
  <http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/about.html#maps>
"Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, using equal area cartograms
 where territories are re-sized on each map according to a particular
 variable... Every map shows the worldwide distribution of something,
 called a variable. If a particular country is larger on one map than
 another, it follows that it has a higher proportion of the world total
 of the first variable.
