I apologize if this has been posted before.

For those of you who have speakers on your computer:

Check out the September 4, 1998 (Episode 110) of "This American
Life."

"Mapping"

              " Five ways to map the world. We bring you five stories
               -- one about people who who map the world the
               traditional way - by drawing maps of things you can
               see. The other stories are about people who map the
               world using smell, sound, touch, and taste. The world
               re-drawn, by the five senses.

                    Heights, mentioned in his interview on this
                    show.
