The Peters Projection is one of the most controversial maps ever produced. Behind it lies a challenge to conventional map-makers and their way of presenting the world. For traditional maps have tended to show countries incorrectly in proportion to one another. European countries are put at the centre of the world and their size exaggerated, while the southern continents (Africa, South America and Australia) are shown far too small. Consider the characteristics of this book:

• ONE WORLD, ONE SCALE
The first Atlas to show each country at its true size in relation to the rest of the world.

• ALL MAPS ARE PETERS PROJECTION
The only Atlas to preserve area accuracy for every part of the globe.

• 246 THEMATIC MAPS
On nature, people and society; including global rainfall, birth control, marriage, weather, status of women, employment, military strength.

• REALISTIC 3-D RELIEF
Superb hand-crafted 3-D effects give an unequalled picture of land forms.

• SATELLITE IMAGING
Up-to-date images give accurate information on desertification and desert encroachment.

This Atlas throws new light on the hidden bias in conventional cartography. A must buy for all households interested in a different world view, and all school Geography Departments.

What they say:

‘The book changes the world. The Peters Atlas is the greatest single advance in map-making in 400 years. You won’t be able to put it down. Truly stimulating…’

The Daily Mail

‘The projection and Atlas seem to grow more popular as Peters’ critics shout louder. His is a shocking view of the world for traditional cartographers and he thrives on the controversy...’
