A fitting quote by Laurel Thatcher Ulrichto kick off Women’s History Month! “The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, and others join in paying tribute to the generations of women whose commitment to nature and the planet have proved invaluable to society.” (from Library of Congress – Women’s History Month) Check out their web site. Then stop by the library display and pick up a title to learn more about the important contributions women have made throughout the ages.
If you love words then you are going to love Wordnik. Along with definitions provided from four different print dictionaries, Wordnik also provides synonyms and antonyms from Roget’s Thesaurus and examples of the word used in a sentence. In striving to be the one-stop shop for words, Wordnik brings in pictures from Flickr and Twitter conversations that include the entry word. If you are really into words you can even start an account to save your favorite words and add to new words to Wordnik’s collection.
Worldmapper is not a traditional map Web site. Instead it is a fun way to understand statistics visually. Worldmapper has a collection of maps that are re-sized according to different subjects/interests. For example, the map above shows each country’s size in proportion to it’s population compared to the rest of the world. You can view maps by many different subjects ranging from amount of commute time to number of deaths caused by war.
