World Peters Projection Map. 1:25,000,000. ODT, 2002. The Peters Projection World Map is one of the most stimulating, and controversial, images of the world. When this map was first introduced by historian and cartographer Dr. Arno Peters at a Press Conference in Germany in 1974 it generated a firestorm of debate and it continues to have passionate fans as well as staunch detractors, as noted in its portrayal on The West Wing tv show. The earth is round. The challenge of any world map is to represent a round earth on a flat surface. There are literally hundreds of map projections. Each has certain strengths and corresponding weaknesses. Choosing among them is an exercise in values clarification: you have to decide what's important to you. That is generally determined by the way you intend to use the map. The Peters Projection is an area accurate map, meaning the sizes of each land mass is accurate in relation to each other. Available as a folded map or a laminated wall map. Size is 35" x 52".

    3D Postcards

    • See the borderline between reality and picture disappear, as you watch the globe turning inside your hands, seemingly within easy reach.
    • A fascinating effect on a perfectly flat display: This postcard is just 1 millimetre thin, thanks to the patented True-3D technology.
    • A great keepsake, and an impressive greeting card as well (standard postage).
    • This postcard is not an embossed map - it is perfectly flat - you cannot feel the shape of the relief. The three-dimensional impression is solely achieved by means of a special printing process. Thus you do not need the otherwise usual red-green glasses, either.
