The Robinson Projection

The map below is based on the Robinson Projection, which

is used today by the National Geographic Society and Rand

McNally. Although the Robinson Projection distorts the rela-

tive size of landmasses, it does so much less than most other

projections. Still, it places Europe at the center of the map.

This particular view of the world has been used to identify the

location of many of the cultures discussed in this text.
