13. Eratosthenes: He invented the word "geography" and calculated the Earth's circumference
14. Aristotle: First demonstrated that the earth was round by gravity theory, earth's circular shadow and proving that stars travel N or S together.
15. Mercator projection (1569): Type of map that uses right angles; direction is perfect; distorts size as you get closer to poles; characterized by a very large Greenland or Antarctica
16. Robinson projection (round edges): type of map that tries to correct distortion near polls by curving; distortion is moderate as you move away from poles; shapes are true around 45° N or S or within 45° of the Central Meridian; balances distortion by making errors in all four ways
17. Peters projection (1974): type of map that focuses on keeping landmasses true; corrects misconceptions about the size of Africa and Latin America created by the Mercator and Robinson maps; controversial
18. Equal area projections: type of map where relative sizes are the same; distorts shape near poles; to preserve size and shape of land masses; interruptions and meridians that do not converge or form right angles with the parallels
