Affordably

priced at less than $140, the Executive World Map, known as the world's

largest, is 8 feet 8 inches tall and 13 ft. wide. It is printed on heavy

paper panels and has a dry-erase surface (one dry-erase marker is included).

The map is applied to the wall much likewallpaper by following the easy

instructions, which are included. The map height can be easily trimmed

to fit low ceilings, and narrow walls can be accommodated by simply carrying

the map over to an adjoining wall.

Environmental

Graphics is known worldwide in the decorating industry for its highly

detailed photographic and painted murals. "Our Executive World Map

makes a great addition to children's rooms," said Todd Imholte, company

president. "We enjoy the idea of adding something that is educational,

but still a lot of fun.

"Any room

where the family gathers is a good location for the map, even a dining

area where everyone gathers to talkabout the day's news."

The company

created the map mural with the assistance of the U.S. Department of Defense

and continues to update the map yearly with the help of the CIA and Department

of State. Because of its size, the map contains an abundance of detail,

including land elevations, ocean depths, shipping-lanes, time zones and

more , as well as more traditional geographic information like cities

and political boundaries.

"Unlike

wallpaper patterned with juvenile themes and cartoon characters, the benefits

of the Executive World Map mural will increase as your child grows,"

said Imholte. "Young children like it because it's colorful. As they

get older and their view of the world broadens, they become fascinated

with all the detail in the map and it becomes increasingly useful for

schoolwork."

The topographical

map (a Mercator Projection) is printed in eight colors giving it a three-dimensional

look.

"With

this map in the room, you get very familiar with the world," says

Nancy Webber, an instructor at West Charlotte High School in Charlotte,

N. C. As chairperson of the Social Studies department, she's purchased

several of the maps for her school district.

She adds, "Even

a student who has difficulty pointing out the locations of major countries

can't miss them."

World Map mural is available nationwide by calling (800) SKYMALL or you
