Críticas
Seed has produced a fascinating, diverse and thoughtful book, ideal as a teaching resource and an introduction to the breadth and chronological span of the globe's many cartographic traditions. (Robert J. Mayhew, Times Higher Education)
Seed constructs genuinely ecumenical historical narratives from cartography. The maps chosen come from across the world, and date from prehistory to the age of Google Earth. Frequently anonymous, their makers include indigenous peoples, monks, engineers, soldiers, explorers, students, artistsdand Seed herself, who contributes a prize-winning series of software-generated maps that predict the effects of coastal flooding in West Africa. The selection is far more than a round-up of the usual suspects ... The temporal and spatial scope of the book is extraordinary ... and its compression into compact, user-friendly form is a fine achievement. (Alfred Hiatt, Journal of Historical Geography)
Reseña del editor
Bringing together a rich and diverse collection of 100 historical maps from the Palaeolithic to the present, The Oxford Map Companion: One Hundred Sources in World History illustrates how peoples and cultures throughout the human past have imagined their worlds. The collection - which includes many never-before published maps - spans a broad spectrum of human time and cultural diversity. It also features a wide range of map types from every continent, including stick charts, porcelain maps, maps created on sealskin, celestial maps, powder-horn and buckskin maps, silk "escape maps," radio maps, ordnance surveys, subway maps, and maps of the Internet.
Combining cutting-edge scholarship and accessibility, renowned scholar and award-wining author Patricia Seed presents new and innovative ways of looking at maps. Organized both chronologically and cartographically, nearly every historical map is accompanied by a locator map and/or schematic diagram - personally crafted by the author - that helps the reader to see the map in its geographical context and to grasp the meaning of its symbols, labels, and overall layout. A master chronology of world history in the front of the book and timelines at the beginning of each Part set the history of mapping in a global framework. Finally, every map includes a corresponding QR code that will allow readers to instantly explore a Google Earth outline of the area covered in the historical map on their smartphones.
