Which is bigger, Greenland or China? With the traditional Mercator map Greenland and China look to be the same size but in reality China is almost 4 times larger! In response to such discrepancies, Dr. Arno Peters created an equal area map, a new world map that dramatically improves the accuracy of how we see the Earth. Come in a variety of formats: laminated; paper folded; spring roller mounted, oversize laminated, and synthetic paper oversize. Standard size is 35'' x 50''

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.

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.
NOW ON SALE: Paper folded $17.99

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.
