After comparing the globes from several different manufacturers, we have chosen those made by Replogle, the world’s largest manufacturer of globes, as being the best in quality, attractiveness, durability, accuracy, and price. They all have sturdy bases. All but the Moon globe and illuminated globes have raised relief.

If you’re on a tight budget you can get a globe at Wal-Mart. Check to be sure it is up-to-date and not old stock. The only problem with their globes is you have to buy a new one to keep up with all the changes.

All political globes listed below come with a half-price update certificate. Whenever there is a major political change, such as the breakup of the Soviet Union, you can send your globe to Replogle and get an updated globe for half-price.

Keep in mind that globes make very nice gifts. The fastest way to order is to use your credit card and call our toll-free number: 1-877-375-4680.

	THE GEOGRAPHER: Reinvent the world! This sturdy write-on, wipe-off 12-inch globe is a great educational tool — not to mention a lot of fun. Designed for classroom or home use, this globe creates an environment for interactive learning. Dry erase marker included. The only drawback I see in this globe is that it does not have raised relief. $56.99 plus $6 shipping.
The ATLANTIS: This is our favorite. Both raised and indented geographical relief enhance the globe’s geographical features — and children love to feel the ups and downs. The political boundaries and names are clear and easy to read. We particularly like the coloring, which is light and has a subtle blending in with the realistic coloration of land and water areas, including deserts, mountain ranges, forests, and undersea physical features. The Atlantis most resembles the earth as it appears from space. 12-inch globe, 17 inches high, double-meridian gyrosphere mounting (which means you can turn the globe a full 360 degrees in any direction for easy viewing of any region). $66.99 plus $6 shipping.
	THE EXPLORER: A 12-inch globe with bold colors and more than 4,000 political markings, with raised relief. Clear place names. Single-meridian mount that turns on the earth’s axis. Sturdy gold-colored metal mounting. 16 inches high. This globe is also available with French or Spanish text. $39.99 plus $6 shipping.
THE FRANKLIN: Identical to The Explorer (above), except that the oceans are “antique” (light tan parchment) instead of blue and the base has an antique finish. $39.99 plus $6 shipping.
	THE LIVINGSTON: A 12-inch single-meridian illuminated globe on a hardwood base. Two-way, raised-relief map of the physical world, or turn on its light and see political boundaries. Two globes in one! $74.99 plus $6 shipping.

	THE PIONEER: Get a closer look at the world with this 12-inch globe. Thanks to the gyro-matic mounting that swings up or down you can bring any area into closer view. Vivid map to help easily distinguish political boundaries. Numbered full-meridian and gyro assembly. $55.99 plus $6 shipping.
THE TALLINN: A sleek finish lends an air of modern opulence to the crisp metallic blue and gold of the Tallinn 12-inch globe ball, while the textured pewter-finish base and full brass meridian offer classical contrast. $150 plus $6 shipping.
	THE CHARLESTON: This distinctive 12-inch globe blends function with an exotic feel. The elegant, clean-lined base forms the perfect foundation for the graceful rattan yoke. The yoke and mahogany base share a rich walnut finish that complements the traditional antique-ocean globe ball. $169 plus $8 shipping.
