5 out of 5 stars A Best-Selling Globe   August 16, 2006

This is my second Replogle globe. Replogle is the best! Their Pioneer World Globe has a little of everything (well almost). It shows major cities, raised relief mountains, ocean currents, color-coded countries and states, and legend. Like most of their globes, it also comes with a plastic time zone dial over the north pole, so you can sort of figure out what time it is in other parts of the world compared to others. My favorite feature which stands out among others is its gyroscopic apparatus, which enables you to tilt the earth upside down without lifting its base, so you can see Antarctica in its entirety. With other lower-priced globes, you have to lift the whole globe, and the base gets in the way, so you really cannot see Antarctica.

There are two things I dislike about this globe. It has no topographical information, but I suppose that is what the Atlantis World Globe is for. (I guess you cannot have everything.) Also, it scratches easily, so don't bang it around.

Another insignificant thing I notice is the placement of the political information. Because the globe is constructed with strips of cardboard (like orange peels), none of the city, state, or country names are printed across two strips. It does not take away from the quality of information; it's just quirky to look at. I am very detailed-oriented and pay attention to everything. Most of you probably will not even notice this.


5 out of 5 stars A globe must have.   October 24, 2007

I purchased this globe for my daughter's 6th to 8th graders. Her job is a challenging one filled with classrooms full of rambunctious pre-teens. The Pioneer Globe allows for interaction with real-world events (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan) and real-world tragedies (California fires, Hurricane Katrina) and life-altering events (polar ice caps, and Greenland melting). This globe is up-to-date and the children can see and learn where all these events are happening.

We received this in the mail today. It is very beautiful and my kids are in awe of it. As a homeschool family, we felt that the flat map was no longer adequate. I must say, that as nice as this is, and I don't have much to compare it to, it is a bit pricy. I think it is more in the $39.99 price...but that's just my opinion. Hopefully it will last many years of educating our kids at home.


5 out of 5 stars Great globe for home office   April 22, 2009

Pioneer Globe

This globe is exactly what I wanted and even better than I expected. The colors are great and the ridges on the globe to show the topography is really a nice feature. We've wanted a globe for my husband's home office for quite awhile but hadn't found one we really liked so I'm happy we finally found this one.


5 out of 5 stars great for kids   November 8, 2009

I wanted a globe that spins in more than one axis for the living room for kids to learn about the world. This was a good value and they can read it clearly.
