Smith" <[log in to unmask]> I teach international relations and comparative politics classes for undergraduates. Maps are crucial for these courses and yet I am not finding much available for students who are blind or visually handicapped. The excellent atlases put out e.g. by Hammond, and the related software, gives the sighted kids a real thrill. For everybody else I would need physical features of continents and countries (and the seabed) as well as political boundaries, locations of major cities, etc. Any suggestions??? Thanks for your help. Theresa C.
