Mapping Nature Across the Americas
by Brosnan, Kathleen A.    Akerman, James R.   
(Hardcover - English - 9780226696430)
Maps are inherently unnatural. Projecting three-dimensional realities onto two-dimensional surfaces, they are abstractions that capture someone's idea of what matters within a particular place; they require selections and omissions. These very characteristics, however, give maps their importance for understanding how humans have interacted with the natural world, and give historical maps, especially, the power to provide rich insights into the relationship between humans and nature over time. That is just what is achieved in Mapping Nature across the Americas . Illustrated throughout, the essays in this book argue for greater analysis of historical maps in the f ..
