The link in this section is to a monograph about the work of sculptor David Barr.  Imagine all the figures from this earlier book cast in the Google Globe so that one might try to understand the great difficulty in traversing the terrain difficulties Barr encountered in planting his four corners in Easter Island, the Kalahari Desert, the Greenland icecap, and Irian Jaya.  Later material in this book will examine the detail of making the Google Earth ball become transparent and present other ways to use the transparent Google Globe.
