Peters Equal Area World Map 39.5"x 50" laminated & gift-tubed [July, 2014] by Arno Peters; Includes explanation by ODTmaps and Oxford Cartographers
Who said "North" was "Up"? The world, like a ball, has no top. We can look at it from any point of view. Top is a matter of habit, convention, and emphasis. This "What's Up? South!" map teaches us to question our assumptions.
No single map can give you the full picture of our amazing and bountiful planet. If you look at the world from only one vantage point, you risk missing so much. Our lives are enriched when we see things from a different point of view. ***** This map is a profound reminder of that simple truth.
This oversize high quality map has South on top. Remember the West Wing episode where cartographers turned the world upside down and C.J. Cregg had her "mind blown?" Well, this is not a Peters Map but a VanderGrinten projection and it accomplishes the same end: IT MAKES YOU THINK!! Its visually provocative and includes 7 additional world images at the bottom to further stretch your mind. Each map is laminated with a sturdy 3-mil lamination film (two-sided, edge-seal)and enclosed in a durable blow-milded plastic screw tube. It also includes a detailed 4-page Explanation.
