Praise for the video/DVD,
Many Ways to See the World
“Many Ways To See The World
is more than a fascinating lesson about maps. It
opens the mind of the viewer to profound perspectives on
the interconnectedness of human beings everywhere. I
hope it will be shown in classrooms all over the country.”
- Howard Zinn, author, A People's History of the
United States

An intriguing new video with a big
message for a very low cost!…A fascinating
exploration of world maps and their ability to convey
powerful and lasting images…Trainers can find many
uses [including] sessions on critical and analytical
thinking; cross-cultural training; negotiating
differences; and more. Viewers will find it
motivational, entertaining, and educational.

Your illustrated lecture is very
well done. You clearly demonstrate the relativity of map
construction, how a particular projection relates to its
intended use. You show cartographers as real people
who have specific goals in mind. Their pictures and
your comments about them feed into your "empowerment"
sub-theme--that change comes because individuals (maybe
even when young and alone) take initiatives. Further,
I appreciate allowing teachers to make copies of the
video/DVD. One of my frustrations when teaching was
finding effective materials that were not prohibitively
expensive and/or restricted. -
