Hi all,

I've got a request from a faculty member to purchase some globes for
classroom use.  I've searched for a day or two and have come up empty
handed.  Perhaps one of you could help.

First, he wants a very detailed globe that shows the ocean floor.  I
have
found one called Land & Ocean Globe.  It is not detailed enough.

Second, he is looking for a set of globes depicting the Earth, the moon,
and Mars (and possibly Venus) in correct scale to one another.  I don't
want one of the small solar system simulators where the sun is in the
center and the planets revolve around it.  If I could find a set where
Mars
was about 16" in diameter and the others in relative size, that would be
great.

Any help would be appreciated!  I've got our physics/astrophysics
librarian
on the hunt as well.

Julie
