Another Famous Map . . . and links from Week 3

John Snow's map of London's Cholera Outbreak, which "not only convinced the world that cholera was a waterborne illness, but ultimately brought about profound changes in science, cities and modern society."

Also, here's some more information about Charles Joseph Minard's thematic map of Napoleon's ill-fated march on Moscow. If Minard could establish structure and convey information through a map/diagram in 1861, then so can you!

Lastly, here are links to Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Map, Mark Lombardi, and IntellectSpace, as shown in class during Week 3.
