The Peters map was produced from a cartographic movement trying to understand the social-political implications of map design. The Peters Projection is concerned with preserving equal land mass area, rather then preserving shape when the sphere of the globe is distorted to a two dimensional plane. A conventional world map or projection preserves shape and distorts land mass representing, for example, Greenland as the same size as Africa, when Africa is 13 times larger. Source: Wikipedia
