Hobo-Dyer Cylindrical Equal Area Projection (11" x 17") - Laminated
The Hobo-Dyer Projection (HDP) takes its place among important map projections. This new HDP map belongs to the family of Cylindrical Equal Area projections in which the latitude and longitude lines form a rectangular grid. Other projections in this family include the Lambert, Gall, Behrmann, Edwards and Peters. The HDP retains qualities of the other equal area cylindrical projections, but is more visually satisfying. Commissioned by ODT, Inc., created by British cartographer, Mick Dyer, the map was derived by modifying the 1910 Behrmann projection.

Seeing Through Maps
SEEING THROUGH MAPS: Many Ways to See the World - $24.95 This book is about so much more than cartography. Map projections are used as tools for understanding the world from different points of view -- those of the world's countries, the world's cultures, the world's people, and the world's history. Seeing Through Maps also explains the principles and hidden messages contained in a number of unique maps and provocative images. It includes the Peters Projection Map; the Van Sant GeoSphere Map; the Fuller Dymaxion Map; a Toronto Canada-based equidistant map; Minard's Map, which tracks Napoleon's march on Moscow; Petit's African Diaspora Map; and a cartogram of global warming. It also includes the original McArthur Universal Corrective Map of the World, an upside down map that has Australia on top. The new REVISED and EXPANDED edition includes: Cartogram of 2004 USA Election Results, Hobo-Dyer Projection maps, and a new chapter called, “Are Maps TALK instead of Pictures” which challenges the conventional notion that maps are representations of reality. Instead, the authors assert that maps are propositions or arguments, and used as tools of persuasion or exploitation. When people in power control the mapmaking, then maps represent the interests of people in power. This book strips the veneer of authority off the status quo, and calls for a true democracy where people use the power of maps to speak (and argue) for their own interests.

Peters Map Info Packet
Introductory information to help explain Arno Peters' NEW VIEW OF THE WORLD. Packet includes:
* "A NEW VIEW OF THE WORLD" Book by Ward Kaiser
* 5 Peters Map postcards
* 6 Comparison panels showing Mercator Map distortions
* "Why this new world map?" Explanatory panel
* One Peters Mini-map, 1990-era (showing the former Soviet Union)

PARTIAL TEXT OF Explanatory panel:

Five thousand years of human history have brought us to the threshold of a new age. It is an age typified by science and technology, by the end of colonial domination, by a growing awareness of the interdependence of all nations and all peoples. Such a moment in history demands that we look critically at our understanding of the world. This understanding is based, to a significant degree, on the work of map-makers of an age when Europe dominated and exploited the world. Surprisingly, maps still reflect that bygone era...In this complex and interdependent world in which the nations now live, the peoples of the world deserve the most accurate possible portrayal of their world. The Peters Map is that map for our day.
