Many
Ways to See the World
Presented by Bob Abramms. Available (DVD)
Many Ways To See The
World presents twelve compelling world maps in
a fast-paced program that changes
the way its audiences view the world. Maps DO
make a difference in how we see the world! Many
Ways To See The World is a provocative learning
tool that presents historical and current images
to generate interest and awareness of maps and
their messages.
The 30-minute DVD uses maps, images
and stories to convey 3 powerful messages:
1. We can only understand the world if we're
willing to see things from multiple perspectives!
2. The "truth" must be
seen from many vantage points.
3. One person's voice can make a huge difference
in the world!
Presenter is Dr Bob Abramms of ODT
Inc, publisher of some of the maps shown in the
DVD.
The DVD includes the story of how
young Stuart McArthur developed McArthur's Universal
Corrective Map with its unique downunder viewpoint.
You will learn how Gerardus Mercator never intended
to draw the world as many of us have always seen
it!
Images created by Len Guelke, Arthur Robinson,
Tom Van Sant, Arno Peters, Buckminster Fuller,
Paul Hoffman (founder of EarthSeals) are featured
players in this unique film.
The movie is available on DVD only,
