-------- Original Message -------- Subject: globe purchasing Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 11:03:34 -0700 From: Julie Sweetkind-Singer <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ 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.
