Hi Ed --
Where can one get the "upside down" map? There was a
wonderful West Wing episode about that, in which CJ was lectured by a
group calling themselves "Geographers for Social Equality", who
argued that having North America and Europe at "the top" and Africa
and Latin America at "the bottom" privileged the more developed
countries. It was very well done --
