New The Bible Map


The Atlas of Pentecostalism has created a Google Map using a static prototype of a motion painting graph of global sales of the Bible. The motion painting graph itself uses scaled tiles to stand upward for the lay out of Bible sales as well as the tiles themselves are organized geographically to exercise a map of the world.

H5N1 motion painting graph was clearly non the best agency to acquaint this data. The tiptop of each tile (not it's surface area) represents the lay out of sales. This on its ain may movement about confusion inward interpreting the data.

The tiptop of the tiles likewise causes other problems, for event taller tiles necessarily obscure the tiles of smaller tiles places behind them. Turning the static prototype into a map does lessen the affect of this employment to a certainly extent. You tin zoom inward on partly hidden tiles to at to the lowest degree bring a gauge at what province an obscured tile is meant to represent.

The information inward the Bible Sales map likewise mightiness bring been to a greater extent than informative if it had been based on per capita sales. For event the tiles representing Bharat as well as Red People's Republic of China both betoken high sales of Bibles inward these countries. However using Bible sales per capita inward either province would presumably acquaint an exclusively unlike picture. The information likewise represents both Bible sales as well as likewise Bibles given away inward each country. Separating the Bible sales as well as Bible donations information inward each province mightiness bring been to a greater extent than informative.
