The Census Bureau has released its first comprehensive atlas of population and housing since the 1920s. With over 300 pages and more than 800 maps, this is a remarkable resource that covers numerous time periods and subject areas.
How much does it cost, you ask? Well, if you want to purchase a copy for yourself, it will only set you back $165. Or, better yet, you can view the full-color .pdf version at the link above.
Michelle Bledsoe (Pop-White) recommended this site to some people, who recommended it to Kay Due, who sent it along to me… So many thanks to everyone in the chain!

Information on over 12,000 drugs is included and searching is easy, requiring only a drug name, such as “valium.”
