Mapping the Future

I have recently discovered the worldly wonders of The Future Mapping Company, 'creating cartograhpy for the 21st century'
They show political and physical information (plate tectonics etc) and use a cylindrical equal area projection. This means they depict the world as a true representation, showing the exact proportional shapes and sizes of countries, something a lot of maps don't do.
Their maps are strikingly beautiful, in the most vibrant and complementary colour schemes.
I think I'm starting my Christmas list several months early this year.
