Hobo-Dyer Equal Area - Two-sided: North-up Africa-centered/South-up Australia-centered ****** A map that not only shows true size comparisons, but also turns the world upside down to challenge North-South perceptions. Based on the popularity of the Peters concept of equal area, we produced a similar map, the Hobo Dyer Projection, which offers less elongation than the Peters map but more compression at the poles. This is the map that President Jimmy Carter used to display his agency's efforts at his Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in December 2002. Also see our new Hobo-Dyer map at 36 inches wide.
