<p>ODT collaborated with the Amherst College museum staff to develop a custom-designed world map for ""A Global View,"" an installation of cultural artifacts organized as a part of the Mead's whole-museum reinstallation project. After reviewing numerous options, museum curators selected ""The World Turned Upside Down,"" a map which places the southern hemisphere at the top and shows the relative size of continents. The map is a Hobo-Dyer Equal Area Projection, South-Up, and was commissioned and published by ODT and designed and Oxford Cartographers (UK). ""This handsome and informative map challenges visitors' preconceptions about something as seemingly straightforward as the geography of the world,"" said Elizabeth Barker, the Mead Museum's director and chief curator. ""In that way, it furthers the Mead's educational mission."" Check out the desktop (11x17) size also-- it is two sided with North-up on one side and South-up on the reverse. See www.amazon.com/dp/1931057311 ODTmaps publishes a variety on world maps with South at the top...and also publishes Russell H. Lenz's Global perspective maps which includes South-up regional maps such as ""The USA as Seen From Canada"" and ""Latin America as Seen From Cuba."" Various ODTmaps of innovatve world views are also available in packets of 25-postcards at 4x6 inch size or 6x9"" size. See the story of how the first modern South-up map was created by searching for the popular clip, ""Stuart McArthur's Universal Corrective Map [Part 7 of 14]"". Or watch ODTmaps' entire video ...

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. Also see our new Hobo-Dyer map at 36 inches wide.

<p>One of the most controversial images of the world, the Peters Map was first introduced by Dr. Arno Peters in 1974, and generated a firestorm of debate. Peters was one of the first to assert that maps are unavoidably political. His map claimed to show "Fairness to All Peoples" providing an area accurate portrayal of the world. Today, this equal area map continues to have passionate fans as well as staunch critics. Important Features of the Peters Map: * The Peters Map is an equal area map. * This new map shows all areas - whether countries, continents or oceans - according to their actual size. Accurate comparisons become possible. * All North-South lines run vertical on this map. Thus, geographic points can be seen in their precise directional relationship. * All East-West Lines run parallel. * Features 7 bottom comparison panels, including four other equal area maps.</p>
