I love this projection (either side of the map). While I've known since childhood about the size distortion of the Mercator projection (one need simply look at a globe), I never saw any of the size-preserving projections until a West Wing episode ("Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail") featured the Peters projection. The Hobo Dyer projection shown here is even cooler.
