Looking around the world for the last five hundred years, \u003ci\u003eTime in Maps\u003c\/i\u003e shows that today’s digital maps are only the latest effort to insert a sense of time into the spatial medium of maps. Historians Kären Wigen and Caroline Winterer have assembled leading scholars to consider how maps from all over the world have depicted time in ingenious and provocative ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on maps created in Spanish America, Europe, the United States, and Asia, these essays take us from the 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 also features a defence of traditional paper maps by digital mapmaker William Rankin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith more than one hundred colour maps and illustrations, \u003ci\u003eTime in Maps\u003c\/i\u003e will draw the attention of anyone interested in cartographic history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000827855084,"sku":"9780226718590","price":104.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19414183482268.jpg?v=1763308107","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/time-in-maps-9780226718590","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
