Jacques Bertin mentions Briesemeister projection in "Semiology of graphics" as one of a few projections which give good general representations of the world. Most of the deformations are in the oceans and the continents are grouped closely together. It is thoroughly described in the book "Flattening the Earth: Two Thousand Years of Map Projections" by John P. Snyder (page 239).
