SHOW is an online information tool launched in May 2008 by Mapping Worlds. The website offers users a new way to look at the world by resizing countries on the map according to a series of global issues. Data is obtained from a number of non-governmental organisations such as World Bank, Amnesty International, USGS, Unicef, ILO, IMF. Variables are mapped from a range of subjects including: people (demographics, health, education); planet (animal resources, environment, minerals, energy); business (economy, transport, global brands, industry); politics (government, migration, law & order); living (sports, travel). Users can also suggest a map. SHOW also allows users to download datasets (MS Excel), maps and animations. These can be shared across the Internet through websites, blogs and email.
