Seeing this—every map projection approximated as idealized orange peels—did something to me when I saw it in 2008. I can’t quite remember the feeling, but it was similar to how I felt after watching Inventing on Principle—the authors as toiling metaphysicists, returning from the mountain with gifts for physicists.

I think another author was similarly affected, creating a nice web version on its 10th anniversary:

Thanks, I'm having so much fun with this. It's been great sharing it with friends, too.
