Ken,
We have the globe that Mary is referring to. It's extremely popular with
everyone that sees it. It's on a very sturdy stand. The only downside is
it can be a bit cumbersome when rolling it from one place to another.

The challenge is not finding the sources you need
but choosing the relevant ones.

You might want to look at the extreme raised relief globe.

I have been asked by the head of our Knowledge Commons (i.e.,
"Reference") for recommendations on purchasing a good globe for display
and reference. We had one there which was on a nice metal stand, but
basically made of cardboard-and it suffered some mishap (whether an
accident or an act of vandalism, I don't know) so that it now has a bad
crack in it. Anyhow, we need a new one, maybe metallic or other more
durable material. Also up-to-date politically and of a decent size, at
least 16 inches diameter. Producer addresses and prices appreciated.
Thanks,
