Cartography

The Ideal and Its History

Beschreibung

Rather than treating maps as a single, unified group, Edney argues, scholars need to take a processual approach that examines specific types of mapsâ sea charts versus thematic maps, for exampleâ in the context of the unique circumstances of their production, circulation, and consumption.
