40 Maps That Will Help You Make Sense of the World

If you’re a visual learner like myself, then you know maps, charts and infographics can really help bring data and information to life. Maps can make a point resonate with readers and this collection aims to do just that.
Hopefully some of these maps will surprise you and you’ll learn something new. A few are important to know, some interpret and display data in a beautiful or creative way, and a few may even make you chuckle or shake your head.

I am moving to Minnesota!

    



Hello again! Thanks for using this blog; I hope it is useful even though I haven't posted anything since the end of June. I plan to update this as I settle into the Twin Cities area, Minnesota. I am very excited to move back and to have so much family around me again!! It will be a new journey for me in ESL, and I will post here as I meet new people and experiences. So, stay tuned!

Please keep in touch! Send me a comment here, if you like. :)  

Oh, and btw (by the way), you can view the videos and images better using the Google Chrome.
