By developing the broadest and most inclusive definition of the term "map" ever adopted in the history of cartography, this inaugural volume of the History of Cartography series has helped redefine the way maps are studied and understood by scholars in a number of disciplines. Volume One addresses the prehistorical and historical mapping traditions of premodern Europe and the Mediterranean world. A substantial introductory essay surveys the historiography and theoretical development of the history of cartography and situates the work of the multi-volume series within this scholarly tradition. Cartographic themes include an emphasis on the spatial-cognitive abilities of Europe's prehistoric peoples and their transmission of cartographic concepts through media such as rock art; the emphasis on mensuration, land surveys, and architectural plans in the cartography of Ancient Egypt and the Near East; the emergence of both theoretical and practical cartographic knowledge in the Greco-Roman world; and the parallel existence of diverse mapping traditions (mappaemundi, portolan charts, local and regional cartography) in the Medieval period. Throughout the volume, a commitment to include cosmographical and celestial maps underscores the inclusive definition of "map" and sets the tone for the breadth of scholarship found in later volumes of the series.

The History of Cartography

The History of Cartography: pt. 1, pt. 2. Cartography in the European Renaissance

From satellite imaging techniques to the Internet, the technologies of the twentieth century transformed both the production and consumption of maps. Volume 6 of the authoritative "History of Cartography" series covers this pivotal century, in which mapping became an important tool for coping with complexity, organizing knowledge, and influencing public opinion in all parts of the globe and at all levels of society. The first volume in the long-running series to be arranged in encyclopedic format, it includes 529 articles ranging from short biographical sketches of key individuals and institutions to multipart entries on such broad topics as Topographic Mapping, Military Mapping by Major Powers, and Wayfinding and Travel Maps. Editor Mark Monmonier and more than 300 expert contributors offer both original factual researchoften based on their own participation in the developments they describeand interpretation of larger trends in cartography. Each entry includes bibliographical references, and the volume is illustrated with more than 1,100 images, the majority of them in full color."

When the University of Chicago Press launched the landmark History of Cartography series nearly thirty years ago, founding editors J.B. Harley and David Woodward hoped to create a new basis for map history. They did not, however, anticipate the larger renaissance in map studies that the series would inspire. But as the renown of the series and the comprehensiveness and acuity of the present volume demonstrate, the history of cartography has proven to be unexpectedly fertile ground.--Amazon.com.
