The Great Globe Gallery on the World Wide Web

This fantastic site contains a complete set of world globes and maps. One of the most useful areas is "Projections," a group of illustrations showing all of the types of map projections (i.e., transverse, mercator, polyconic, lambert, etc.) currently in use. There are also many thematic geological and environmental maps available; one of the most spectacular of these is number 42, "Crustal Boundaries, Earthquake Centers, and The Pacific Rim of Fire."
