Bertuca" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: China's view of itself in the World hi all; This recently was asked and I know there are maps such as this but have not been able to locate them again. Does anyone have either such a map or a cite to where I might find one? I am looking ideally for an image file (.jpg, etc.), but paper map or map in an atlas would work too. Thank you. <<<<forwarded question<<<<<< I've really appreciated your help in the past. Let me pose another question. My understanding of Chinese civilization is that (since they see themselves as at the center of the world) their projection is based on China at the hub, not Western Europe as is common with the Robinson or Mercator projections. True? More important, do you know of a source that has such a map? Do we, in terms of a .jpg format? Let me know if you have time. Thanks for your help. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< David J. Bertuca [log in to unmask]
