Newly Produced Middle East Map Covers An Expanded Area For Current Conflicts PHOENIX - Because of the current events, our view of the Middle East has expanded beyond what became familiar during the Gulf War. The entire world has its eyes and ears on northeast Africa, the Middle East and south-central Asia. This part of the world will be in the news for weeks, months and possibly years to come. Understanding the geography of the region has never been more important. Wide World of Maps has produced a unique, special edition wall map that brings together parts of three continents to help people relate better to what is happening. This quick-reference map is designed to help put the coming events into perspective. This full-color map centers on Afghanistan and Pakistan. The map area stretches from Northeastern Africa (Sudan and Egypt) on the west to Thailand and parts of China on the east. The southern boundary of the map reaches to include all of India including Sri Lanka. The northern part of the map includes Turkey, Tajikistan and Kyrgystan. The 16" X 28" size is ideal for display in any office, on a door, or classroom without taking up too much room. The attractive and informative map includes details such as international boundaries, disputed boundaries, countries, major cities, ports, rivers, seas, and major roads. The map is laminated on both sides to provide a durable, markable and washable surface that will last a long time. Priced at just $8.95, the map can be purchased at Wide World of Maps store locations in Phoenix and Mesa, by calling 800-279-7654, or from their website www.maps4u.com. "Knowledge is power. Because of the tragic events of the last few weeks, our focus on this part of the world will intensify," James Willinger, president of Wide World of Maps, explained.
