Projecting the world


Earlier this year I saw this book, Map (Phaidon), at a bookstore in Oneonta. I'm so glad I got it for our library. The history, perspective, and science behind so many of the maps/graphics are revealing and fascinating.

I chased down some further information on a favorite;  Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion projection, which affords a kind-of one-continent view of the world. I'm hoping some visiting student will give the cut-out I made a shot.
