The world upside down as seen from the Down Under: a map of the world from the Australian publishers UBD Gregory’s showing on one side a political version & on the reverse a physical map. Both maps are Pacific centred, so Australia & New Zealand are on top & in the centre. On one side is a political map of the world in nice pastel colours. On the reverse, the less often seen & much more interesting physical version of the “upside down” presentation provides even greater contrast to the usual view of the world with the north on top. ...

Includes:: notes & illustrations explaining how projections & show either equal areas or correct shapes of the continents.LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
