the yin and yan balance
distorted proportions- mainstream maps always tend to show the western continents as larger in size so as to barter as psychological advantage over any person from the developing world who happened to look at the world map.
For instance: in traditional western cartography ,Greenland is the same size as Africa,while
Greenland = 0.8 mill.sq.miles
Africa = 11.6 million square miles
Arnos Peters ;a german historian cartographer introduced this map with relative corrected proportions of countries.
Lie Pie chart ,an exercise from Julia Cameron's book the Artists's Way.
