Beschreibung

"The new field of spatial history has been driven by digital mapping tools that can readily show change over time in space. But long before such software became available, mapmakers regularly represented time in sophisticated and nuanced ways in supposedly static maps, and even those maps presented as historical snapshot illustrate the centrality of time to what we think of as primarily a spatial medium. In this collection, an array of today's leading scholars consider how mapmakers in a variety of contexts depicted time in their creations--from Aztecs documenting the founding of Tenochtitlan, to early modern Japanese reconstructing nostalgic landscapes before Western encroachments, to nineteenth-century Americans grappling with the new concept of deep time. The book includes a theoretical salvo and defense of traditional paper maps by William Rankin--himself a distinguished digital mapmaker--and includes more than 100 maps and related visuals, all in full color"--
