Download or read book Cartographia written by Vincent Virga and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2007-10-25 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CARTOGRAPHIA offers a stunning array of 200 of the most beautiful, important, and fascinating maps in existence, from the world's largest cartographic collection, at the Library of Congress. These maps show how our idea of the world has shifted and grown over time, and each map tells its own unique story about nations, politics, and ambitions. The chosen images, with their accompanying stories, introduce the reader to an exciting new way of "reading" maps as travelogues---living history from the earliest of man's imaginings about planet earth to our current attempts at charting cyberspace. Among the rare gems included in the book are the Waldseemuller Map of the World from 1507, the first to include the designation "America"; pages from the Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1570, considered the first modern atlas; rare maps from Africa, Asia, and Oceania that challenge traditional Western perspectives; William Faulkner's hand-drawn 1936 map of the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi; and even a map of the Human Genome. In an oversized format, with gorgeous four-color reproductions throughout, Catrographia will appeal to collectors, historians, and anyone looking for a perfect gift.

Book Synopsis Cartographic Sources in the Rosenberg Library by : Rosenberg Library
Download or read book Cartographic Sources in the Rosenberg Library written by Rosenberg Library and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas coast remained for a long time one of the least-known stretches of the American Atlantic littoral, and Galveston Bay, the coast's most prominent feature, was not even shown by commercial mapmakers until 1799. The extensive cartographic collection of the Rosenberg Library in Galveston documents the development of cartography for this region. The Rosenberg holds maps that show Galveston Bay from 1725 on, as well as the rest of Texas, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and adjacent coasts. Its maps illustrate European exploration of the New World during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the development of Texas during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This detailed guide to the important cartographic collection at the Rosenberg is selective, with entries describing and relating the history of more than 550 of the most significant and useful maps in the library's holdings. Included are many original maps as well as photostats of rare or otherwise inaccessible maps. The descriptions focus on developments in Galveston and along the Texas coast but include other relevant topics as well. A generous scholarly introduction by Henry G. Taliaferro III traces the early cartography of the Texas coast, evaluating the importance of various documents and placing them in historical perspective.

Book Synopsis Cartography in Central and Eastern Europe by : Georg Gartner
Download or read book Cartography in Central and Eastern Europe written by Georg Gartner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region of Central and Eastern Europe has a rich and long history in cart- raphy. Many important improvements in mapping and cartography have been proposed and performed by cartographers and researchers of that region. The long and outstanding history has led to a lively and vivid presence. Now contemporary methods for depicting the earth and its cultural and natural attributes are used. This book focuses on the contemporary activities in all major realms of cartography in Central and Eastern Europe. It covers aspects of theoretical, topographical, thematic and multimedia cartography, which have been presented at the frst Symposium on Cartography for Central and Eastern Europe, which took place from February 16th to 17th, 2009 in Vienna, Austria and was organized by the International Cartographic Association (ICA) and the Vienna University of Technology. The symposium’s aim was to bring together cartographers, GI scientists and those working in related disciplines from CEE with the goal of offering a platform for discussion and exchange and stimulation of joined projects. About 130 scientists from 19 countries followed the invitation and visited Vienna, Austria. A selection of fully reviewed contributions is edited in this book and is meant as a mirror of the wide range of activities in the realm of cartography in this region. The innovative and contemporary character of these topics has lead to a great variety of interdis- plinary contributions. Topics cover an enormous range with heterogenous relati- ships to the main book issues.
