[OSGeo Africa] Topographic Map Series of Namibia?

[Chris]

    The paper based maps are not that expensive ( at least 
    here in SA ) 
    Granted there are quite a number of them.

    Still for a not very large sum YOU would have a compete 
    set (  believing that the SG in Windhuk <sic>  can supply a 
    full set ) to store away for any future use. Perhaps the 
    South African SG / NGI should as a matter of principle 
    keep in their archive / document section full sets of ALL 
    maps of the SADC countries ( including perhaps 
    Mozamabique and Angola ) ? I imagine that the state of 
    the SG departments of these countries would make this 
    something of a difficult task ?

    Speaking from observed experience the Geography 
    departments of our larger better known Universities ( and 
    their libraries ) do have quite extensive map collections 
    ( although these may not be completely up to data )

    Have a look particularly at UCT as well as WITS

Aftertaking all of human history 
       for population to reach one billion.

       It took only a little over a century 
    To reach two billion in 1930.

        The Third Billion was added in just thirty years.( 1960 )
            The Fourth Billion in only Fifteen Years. ( 1975 )
    The Fifth Billion in Twelve Years ( 1987 )
             The Sixth billion in just Thirteen Years. ( 2000 )
