Worldmapper Project

This is a map of private health care spending courtesy of Worldmapper, but the map is unusual in that territories on the map are imaged in proportion to the health care value being assessed.  Thus the U.S. seems to bulge at its seams, while the entire continent of Africa shrinks to a very long isthmus.

These maps really put global health inequities into stark relief, quite literally, and manage to capture something visually that is often more difficult to conceptualize.  Another map, reproduced below, shows a bulging Africa & India and an almost nonexistent U.S.; this one charts early neonatal mortality.  Fascinating stuff.
