Ways to See the Worl:
From the filmmaker:
|
Designed for the general viewer, Many Ways to See the World is a fascinating 30-minute exploration into the challenges of creating a map and the minds of twelve visionary mapmakers. It illustrates the unique backgrounds, philosophies, values, and politics which led each mapmaker to select a particular mathematical formula to create their projection. This provocative presentation explains how maps are not impartial reference objects, but rather instruments of communication, persuasion, and power.
Howard Zinn, author of A People�s History of the United States says �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.� From the filmmaker: Official website | Buy the DVD | Hosting materials No screenings of Ways to See the Worl are currently scheduled.
