Did Maps Invent Invent East and West? Inside the Map Trap

Mercator's Projection was a tool for navigation and Western expansion. Hear the story also of "The Upside Down Cartographer", an Australian who challenged all this in 1979 by selling 350,000 'South-up' maps as an act of geopolitical critique about the Age of Exploration.
