Summary

This map shows metalworking sites and centers of patronage during the Romanesque period. It also indicates the source of various metals (copper, lead, silver, tin, zinc (calamine)) in Western Europe during this period.

Arrows indicate stylistic influences and trade routes, including gold, rubies, sapphires and pearls from the Middle East.
The import of exotic materials was important to artists who experimented with different mediums coming from distant lands.

The inset map shows the Mosan area centered on Liège.

Richest Tenth

Summary

This “Worldmapper” map shows disparities in the total earnings of the richest tenth of the population in different countries. Territory size shows the earnings of the richest tenth of the population living in a country as a proportion of the earnings of the richest tenth living in all countries. The United States, China, and India are shown largest on the map because their richest tenths have the greatest total earnings. The country sizes represent total earnings by the richest tenth, not earnings per rich person, in which Luxembourg, the United States, and Ireland lead. There are great disparities across countries in the earnings of the richest tenth–the richest tenth in Luxembourg earn nearly 100 times more than the richest tenth in the United Republic of Tanzania.

The map is accompanied by two tables that show ranked lists of the ten countries with the highest and lowest earnings of the richest tenth per rich person. There is also a bar graph that shows the average annual earnings per rich person in PPP US$ by region.

Poorest Tenth, 2004

Poorest Tenth

Summary

This “Worldmapper” map shows differences in the total earnings of the poorest tenth of the population in different countries. Territory size shows the earnings of the poorest tenth of the population living in a country as a proportion of the earnings of the poorest tenth living in all countries. The country sizes represent total earnings by the poorest tenth, not earnings per poor person, so countries like India with large populations but small earnings per poor person are shown as larger than normal on the map. Luxembourg, Norway, and Japan are the countries with the highest earnings by the poorest tenth per poor person. The larger the territory appears relative to its population, the better off its poor are in a global context. This map can be better understood when compared to the world map below, which shows country size in proportion to population.

World Population Map, 2002 [http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=2]

There are great disparities across countries in the earnings of the poorest tenth–the poorest tenth in Niger or Sierra Leone earn less than 1% of the earnings of the poorest tenth in Japan and most Western European countries.

The map is accompanied by two tables that show ranked lists of the ten countries with the highest and lowest earnings of the poorest tenth per poor person. There is also a bar graph that shows the average annual earnings per poor person in US$ PPP by region.

Physicians Working

Summary

This “Worldmapper” map shows where physicians work. Territory size shows the proportion of all physicians (doctors) that work in a specific country. The map does not measure the number of physicians per capita. China is the largest territory on the map because it has the largest number of physicians, though not the largest number of physicians per capita. Italy, Cuba, and Monaco have the most physicians working per capita.

The map is accompanied by two tables that show ranked lists of the ten countries with the most and fewest physicians working per 100,000 people. There is also a bar graph that shows the number of physicians working per 100,000 people by region in 2002.
