The Histomap - History of the Worlds Civilizations 16"x76" Map Poster

Product Information

We’ve previously featured that 1931 “History of the World!” histomap, an impressive condensing of 4000 years of human activity. The evolution graphic you see here, also from 1931 and “arranged” by John B. Sparks, is equally impressive, and speaks to the times in ways that DeMille’s Bible movies did as well. Bear in mind that the Scopes Monkey Trial had only concluded six years earlier, and the country—as it is again today—was hotly divided over the subject represented here. Nonetheless, Sparks and publisher Rand McNally gamely presented this “Story of the Emergence and Progression of Life” with confident precision and without apology. In fact, research has found that just attaining a university degree improves future earnings potential and employability.

This tool maps out which charts are appropriate for telling various 'stories' with your qualitative data, such as whether you're trying to outline a hierarchy of concepts, the flow of events, a comparison between or a cluster of ideas or responses, or to highlight comments/words. Furthermore, individual engagement at college (irrespective of the rank of the school in question) plays a far bigger role in learning and general well-being than simply attending a highly-ranked school. Best” is of course subjective, and U.S. News and World Report has compiled 19 metrics on which they evaluated more than 400 national universities. Some of them include: My only disapiontment with the Histomap is that an expanded version has not yet been released! I have been hoping to see one that extends through the second world war, and up to at least 2000.Finding the best university for prospective students is more than just perusing a long ranking list.

It shows in a simple way what charts are appropriate for the story you want to tell with your data. The similarity here isn’t simply one of form. The “outline” functioned in much the same way that simplified animations do—condensing heavy, contentious theoretical freight trains and ideological baggage. Rebecca Onion describes the chart as an artifact very much of its time, presenting a version of history prominent in the U.S. between the wars. Onion writes:Shortly after moving into his Senate office, Romney had hung a large rectangular map on the wall. First printed in 1931 by Rand McNally, the “histomap” attempted to chart the rise and fall of the world’s most powerful civilizations through 4,000 years of human history. When Romney first acquired the map, he saw it as a curiosity. Qualitative Chart Chooser 3.0 is an updated version of Stephanie Evergreen and Jennifer Lyons attempt to organise different ways to show qualitative data.
