Hobo-Dyer Equal Area - Two-sided: North-up Africa-centered/South-up Australia-centered

A map that not only shows true size comparisons, but also turns the world upside down to challenge North-South perceptions. Based on the popularity of the Peters concept of equal area, we produced a similar map, the Hobo Dyer Projection, which offers less elongation than the Peters map but more compression at the poles. This is the map that President Jimmy Carter used to display his agency's efforts at his Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in December 2002. Prices range from $6 for 11''x17'' to $249 for a 64'' wide custom map. For larger quantities, special pricing is available to schools and not-for-profit organizations.

Buckminster Fuller Raleigh Edition Dymaxion Map

This Raleigh Edition of the Dymaxion (TM) map, first designed in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a vivid color reproduction of the original rendition created by R. Buckminster Fuller in 1954 in his office there. We have reproduced the map exactly as it was first conceived and produced by its creator. Both the land masses and the grayscale shading in the oceans represent mean low annual temperatures. The visionary Fuller designed this map to help us recognize that ''we're all astronauts aboard a little spaceship called Earth.'' Because it can be reconfigured into a variety of patterns, it also communicated the point that "there are many ways to see the world."  Prices from $20.

Buckminster Fuller Dymaxion Desktop Map

This Raleigh Dymaxion (TM) map is a desktop version at 1/4th of the size of the 22''x34'' full-size version we produced. It is perfect for a student desktop map, as it shows the sizes and shapes of the continents accurately. The paper format can be cut up and folded into the 20-sided polyhedron that Fuller started with. Or this size, when laminated, can make a snappy addition to your breakfast table as an exciting placemat. It's educational, as it has a lengthy explanation printed on the reverse side. The text on the map (being reduced in size) is hard to read, but the desktop version has the same vivid colors of the original. Call us for a quote on volume pricing 800-736-1293

Eckert IV equal area world map

We discovered a cache of B&W outline maps amidst the World Eagle inventory we took over last year. This map shown is another excellent choice for an equal area world map…it is called the Eckert IV. Some people consider it too 'long and thin' in the tropics, but it was the surprise first choice for the 1995 revision of the National Curriculum in the UK. The original retail price of this map was $7.50. We will not be printing it again, so we’re giving these away for free with any order over $10.
