"36 maps that explain the entire world"

I have a thing for maps. It's a cliche, of course, for a fellow of my profession. Something about an easy way to pretend to be smart. But I love maps. When I roll out the new version of this blog later this year, I want to include an interactive map somehow. I don't know how yet. I just know I want one.

Anyway, Business Insider has this: 36 Maps That Explain the Entire World. A bold claim, partially true.
