Europe Political Wall Map (enlarged & Tubed) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
With this map, you can seriously get the best of both worlds, as it combines elements of both Political and Physical. Although some parts of the map can get quite cramped and the physical aspects can be a bit difficult to see (especially the northern Balkans), but some things that really stand out with this map are:1.) Most European maps cut off from some areas I consider extremely important, especially to European history, such as Northern Africa, Part of the middle east (Israel. Iraq, and Syria are included).2.) The shear amount of information put into this map that makes it an absolute gem. I doubt any European map does so much with the space provided.3.) The absolute coolest part of this map is the curvature visible in the map. Most maps use a Cartesian plane, making them very flat, which can seriously distort Northern parts of Europe, but this one curves the map, preserving the shape of the continent as well as providing an extremely accurate scale. It also gives a great effect, as you can picture the Earths curve and almost imagine it on a gigantic globe!
If you want a large wall map of Europe this one will fill the bill.All the large towns and major highways are present,I wouldlove to see the same map from 100 years ago to see the changesin Europe.
This map is gorgeous. The font is classy (small, subtle serifs on the letters) and very legible on both the big and small scale sizes on the map. The colors have a nice pastel pallet that are easy on the eyes and pairs nicely with white and light colored walls. The paper is semi glossy and has the right about of thickness to where rolling and pinning are done with ease.
The map is beautiful! I went on a tour across Europe this summer and bought a flag pin everywhere I went. I have them all pinned on my map, which is hanging on my wall, and it looks great! The large size helps the viewer see all the country names clearly. And the colors are beautiful! Another thing I love about this map is that all the country lines and names are up-to-date!
I read a lot of history books.... I'm now reading Winston Churchill's series on World War II. These maps are a real help. It's amazing how events come to life when you can see how close European countries really are, and where they are in relation to places like Russia and India, and North Africa. We in America are used to continent sized distances.... In Europe, sometimes battles were so close you could almost walk between them. And, it's easy to see why naval forces were so important, and made such a difference, too.....both in Britain and the Mediterranean.
I recently ordered this because I've always wanted to have a way to track our journeys. My husband and I are avid travelers, and having this map up on the wall of our spare bedroom has enabled me to re-live our trips.To mark our destinations, I also bought a package of these labels: Avery Removable Color Coding Labels, 0.25 Inches, Assorted, Round, Pack of 768 (5795). I've used them to color-code our various vacations.This map is also to scale, and I appreciate that it includes Russia and parts of the Middle East.The paper quality is also very nice; I had thought that I would need to laminate or frame it, but I was able to tape it up and still have it look nice.
After returning from a trans-European vacation, I wanted to get a map to track my travels in the area. The map is large and fits very well on my wall. With some pins and string to show routes, it is a great display piece and has sparked a few conversations already. It was a little frayed coming out of the tube, but that isn't an issue when actually hung. I'll definitely do the same for the other continents I get to eventually!
What's nice about this map is that you can mark it up with a dry erase marking pen, then wipe it off. I'm currently interested in WW1. Of course, the boundaries and country names then weren't the same as they are now. I'm able to mark this up to show the former conditions so I can follow the battles. Later, I'll be able to do the same for WWII. It's a good scale to read when it's hanging on the wall, and looks good there too. Much better than the map in my Atlas!
