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.

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

The visionary Buckminster Fuller designed this map to help us recognize that "we're all astronauts aboard a little spaceship called Earth." This projection minimizes the distortion of size and shape. The peel-off back has detailed background information. Can be used by teachers and seminar presenters as a great handout.
Note: The actual sticker shows the oceans quite a bit darker than the image on the web -- so there is less contrast between the oceans and the land.
