Worldmapper: The World As You Have Never Seen It Before. This is a great site for looking at a unique way of displaying geographic data. It has 365 (and counting) Cartograms that diplay everything from population to violence to communication on a global scale. http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/index.html Also includes excel files of the data behind the maps so it can be used in many ways.

Mapping the News. This is a website created by the Arizona Star Newspaper. Choose a country from the drop-down and find the governmental system, population, a brief history, and then short summaries of recent events in that country. They must have stopped maintaining it because the latest news stories seem to be from summer 2006, but it is still a useful resource. Like...did you know... that in Nepal on June 5, 2006, a climber, Mark Inglis, 47, from New Zealand who lost both legs to frostbite in 1982 became the first double amputee to conquer Mt. Everest.

This website gives all the possible targets in the event of a nuclear attack in Nevada and the rest of the county. I found it interesting to see all the targets and that it was easy to make our the reasons why they are targets. Whether it be a large city, military base, major economic centers, the capitols of states as well as the nations capitol. http://www.ki4u.com/nuclearsurvival/states/nv.htm [Posted by joshd]
