I need source and or references for as many map projects as possible.
For example, Hammer, Robinson, Dymaxion, Goode Homolosine, etc.
I have ordered two publications (told they were useful) from the 
Committee on Map Projections of the American Cartographic Association:
"Which Map is Best? Projections for World Maps" and "Choosing a World
Map - Attributes, Distortions, Classes, Aspects". I don't know what
these will contain in the way of algorithms but am interested in
any help I can get. Thanks.
