  • Gall Orthographic World Map | Sometimes called Gall-Peters Projection or the Peters Projection | Countries are Shown in Correct Proportion to Each Other | Laminated | 36" x 24" | Great for Teaching

    The Scottish cartographer James Gall published a scientific paper that included an image of his Gall Orthographic Projection in 1885. This idea was revolutionary at the time because it's an equal area projection that shows countries in the proper size and proportion to each other. Many popular modern maps continue to show large distortions in country size. For example, Greenland and Africa appear to be the same size on the Mercator projection, when in fast Africa is 14x larger than Greenland. Many years later in 1972, a German historian named Arno Peters modeled his map off of Gall's projection. Although Peters's maps wasn't the first equal-area projection, it became popular. This is why this projection is sometimes called the Gall-Peters Projection or the Peters Projection. Our map was pl... [Read More]

  • Flattening the Earth: Two Thousand Years of Map Projections

    As long as there have been maps, cartographers have grappled with the impossibility of portraying the earth in two dimensions. To solve this problem mapmakers have created hundreds of map projections, mathematical methods for drawing the round earth on a flat surface. Yet of the hundreds of existing projections, and the infinite number that are theoretically possible, none is perfectly accurate. Flattening the Earth is the first detailed history of map projections since 1863. John P. Snyder discusses and illustrates the hundreds of known projections created from 500 B.C. to the present, emphasizing developments since the Renaissance and closing with a look at the variety of projections made possible by computers. The book contains 170 illustrations, including outline maps from original s... [Read More]
