The
Peters' Projection World Map
Laminated or folded wall poster
This
full colour wall map illustrates the hidden
bias of conventional map projections.
What
makes the Peters' Projection World Map so
distinctive is that countries are shown in
their correct proportions. Usually Europe appears
much larger than South America - whereas it
is in fact only half the size. This also means
that the equator is placed in the middle, instead
of the usual allocation of 2/3 of the map to
the northern hemisphere, and only 1/3 to the
southern hemisphere. The Peters' Projection
World Map gets it right.
Comes
in a choice of either a laminated easy-clean
format which can be marked with a felt-tip
pen, or folded to A4 size and unlaminated.
