Describes the evolution of world map concepts and how the airplane has drastically reduced distances. Sequences include the problem of projection distortion; early maps and globes; latitude and longitude; Mercator's, Mollweide's, and Goode's projections; and distance contrasts between points on the globe by land, water, and air travel routes. "The Great Circle route is traced on Mercator's projection, and airplane distances are compared. Alaska is shown to be closer to Berlin than is New York City." School management.
