A concerned mother, Daniella of Ontario, Canada, ordered maps for a school project for her son, Isaac. Later, Daniella emailed "After his presentation, Isaac organized a debate where students debated which map was the best or most representative of the real world... Isaac said that the best part of the project for him was sharing information that very few people new about (including adults!)."
A greater degree of plurality in our map-making has to be a step in the right direction.
Many Ways to See the World is more than a fascinating lesson about maps. It opens the mind of the viewer to profound perspectives on the interconnectedness of human beings everywhere. I hope it will be shown in classrooms all over the country.
