*...like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes* 
*He star'd at the Pacific - and all his men* 
*Look'd at each other with a wild surmise -* 
*Silent, upon a peak in Darien.*  
  
[Keats](http://rawumber.blogspot.com/2005/05/silent-upon-peak-in-darien.html?ref=opendemocracy.net) summed up the experience of looking at the world with new eyes and an expanded vision of the possible. We may never be able to recreate this experience in today's shrunken world but is it possible to look with new eyes...?  
  
The [worldmapper site](http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/?ref=opendemocracy.net) promises "the world as you've never seen it before". Territory size is calculated on the global proportion of a wide range of categories - from [fish imports](http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=52&ref=opendemocracy.net)  
and [exports](http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=51&ref=opendemocracy.net), to [Hydroelectric power](http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=110&ref=opendemocracy.net) and[ female managers](http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=133&ref=opendemocracy.net).  
  
The Refugee [destination](http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=13&ref=opendemocracy.net) and [origin](http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=14&ref=opendemocracy.net) maps are both puzzling and fascinating. (Plus it's always good to see north America shrink to a feeble sliver of land). There's a [population 2300](http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=12&ref=opendemocracy.net) map too.   
  
Over 150 maps are on site with more to come. Take a look (even if it's not with wild surmise)...
