>...map projections...ortho...linear...neat stuff

I don't know, but if you find some, PLEASE let me know!  I've been trying
to brain out all these wonderful projections I got in a book by the USGS,
but I'm afraid my formal education in trig is lacking.  I, too, need to do
ortho, equatorial and oblique aspects, but nobody can tell me how to draw
a straight line (straight in the cartesian plane but not necessarily the
projected plane).  Is there a more accessible book about this out there?
