Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 11 1/8" x 8 5/8", 196 pages, 28 black and white plates, text illustrations in black and white, bibliography. 'Mapping the American Revolutionary War,' based on the fourth Kenneth Nebenzahl, Jr. Lecture in the History of Cartography at the Newberry Library, is the first study of changing cartographic approaches to a single series of military events. J.B. Harley draws on archival material and 18th century published manuals to investigate the contemporary mapping of the Revolution. He classifies the considerable variety of Revolutionary maps into types, discusses the training of contemporary mapmakers, the consequent characteristics of their maps, and, finally, how the maps were used. The chapters by Lawrence W. Towner and Barbara Bartz Petchenik examine the 19th and 20th century cartographic record of the war. Towner describes the work of three major 19th century historians and their roles in perpetuating or modifying the traditional cartographic representation of Revolutionary battles. Petchenik analyses the maps in dozens of 20th century books, providing a general indictment of their graphic and intellectual quality. She concludes with an instructive account of the problems faced and solved by the staff of the 'Atlas of Early American History' in the preparation of a series of military maps. This book is handsomely illustrated with seventy-five halftones and eleven line cuts, and is a valuable synthesis of the technical characteristics and historical significance of this cartographic genre.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lawrence W. Towner, historian and head of one of the country's largest independent research libraries, was also an eloquent spokesman for the humanities. Throughout his career - first as a historian and then as head of the Newberry Library - he developed and expressed a coherent vision for the role of humanities scholarship in American society, voicing the needs of scholars and research institutions while searching for a balance between the scholar's freedom of research and his or her social responsibility. While at the Newberry Library he built and focused its prestigious collections, in his words 'an uncommon collection of uncommon collections'. He pioneered in the preservation of books and manuscripts, and created major research centers, establishing the library as a community of scholars with a broad outreach to a variety of publics. He established research centers for cartography, Renaissance Studies, the history of the American Indian, and family and community history; the last two reflected his longstanding interest in utilizing underused library resources to develop neglected aspects of history. The essays and talks gathered in Past Imperfect cover a broad range of topics of continuing relevance to the humanities and to scholarship in general. Part I collects Towner's historical essays on the indentured servants, apprentices, and slaves of colonial New England that are standards of the 'new social history'. The pieces in Part II express his vision of the library as an institution for research and education; here he discusses the rationale for the creation of research centers, the Newberry's pioneering policies for conservation and preservation, and the ways in which collectionswere built. In Part III Towner writes revealingly of his co-workers and mentors. Part IV assembles his statements as 'spokesman for the humanities', addressing questions of national priorities in funding, and of so-called elitist scholarship versus public programs. These es.…
