The Terrene is the perfect desk globe — a 6" blue political ball that runs on rechargeable batteries rather than a wall cord. Charge it with the included USB cable from your computer, then use the on/off switch to enjoy it either illuminated or unlit and save battery life. Compact enough for a crowded desk, bookshelf or bedside table, it brings a clear, up-to-date view of the world's countries and capitals to any small space.
