Vintage US And Canadian Maps CD: Vintage US And Canadian Maps CD |
| Product Description : Maps are more than just a guide to go from there to there. They are historical documents that can really demonstrate how people view the world at any given time. The Vintage US And Canadian Map CD is a good demonstration of this point first hand. It contains 75 maps - most of which are more than 100 years old. The maps tell the story of conquest of North America as the New World was discovered. Just a note: these are not just low quality photo reproductions of these maps. The CD includes the Mr. Sid Viewer which allows the user to focus in on the smallest detail of each and every rare map on display. It feels like you are studying them with a magnifying glass at the most important library in the world. What is impressive about this CD is that it can be used by anyone regardless of their computer skills and equipment. You simply load the CD into your computer the same way you would put a compact disk into your stereo. The CD will then automatically load onto your system. After that you just point and click to the map you want to see. For years most people were not able to look at these maps in any detail on a first hand basis. Because the paper they are written on was unstable, they were kept in the hands of scholars. It?s fun to be able to use the power of your computer to gander at these relics. |
