Download or read book Globes in a Box written by Tom Mugridge and published by Ilex Press. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This kit is an exciting resource that combines learning about the world, maps and mapping with paper craft fun. The box contains a CD-ROM, book and globe that together let you create your own world views to print out and wrap around the globe. You can also fold them - origami-style - to create your own 3D models of our planet. The book features a detailed look at how the earth has developed into todays globe and an overview of different mapping and globe-making techniques. It also gives clear instructions for using the enclosed CD-ROM. The high-quality digital maps (compatible with all popular image-editing programmes) may be customised to show different features - terrain, political boundaries, relief, and so on. Globes have always fascinated us - now they are fun, too!
