----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I don't know if this is a map projection or not. A graduate student wants to find a world map shown on gores. The only example we could find was a small illustration in The Times Atlas of the World (1983 ed). We have looked in various cartography books, books on map projections and other atlases - no luck. Is this an actual map projection? If so, what is the name? She would like to either purchase a copy of the map or get a photocopy as long as the copy is at least 11x17. Many thanks in advance.
