It would be nice if James Gall got some of the credit (following from Wikipedia): The Gall–Peters projection, named after _James Gall_ (/wiki/James_Gall) and _Arno Peters_ (/wiki/Arno_Peters) , is one specialization of a configurable equal-area _map projection_ (/wiki/Map_projection) known as the equal-area cylindric or _cylindrical equal-area_ (/wiki/Cylindrical_equal-area_projection) projection. The Gall–Peters achieved considerable notoriety in the late 20th century as the centerpiece of a controversy surrounding the political implications of map design. Maps based on the projection continue to see use in some circles and are readily available, though few major map publishers produce them.
