This open access volume raises awareness of the histories, geographies, and practices of universities and analyzes their role as key actors in today’s global knowledge economy. Universities are centers of research, teaching, and expertise with significant economic, social, and cultural impacts at different geographical scales. Scholars from a variety of disciplines and countries offer original analyses and discussions along five main themes: historical perspectives on the university as a site of knowledge production, cultural encounter, and political interest; institutional perspectives on university governance and the creation of innovative environments; relationships between universities and the city; the impact of universities on national and regional economies and cultures; and the processes of internationalization through student mobility, the creation of education hubs, and global regionalism in higher education.

Le monumental chef d’œuvre que publie Elisée Reclus (1830-1905) dans les dernières années de sa vie constitue un événement éditorial majeur de la vie scientifique et politique du début du XXe siècle. Grande fresque historique sur l’évolution et le devenir de l’Humanité, cette réflexion originale s’inscrit autant dans la formalisation d’une géographie humaine détachée des sciences naturelles et dont Elisée Reclus est l’un des pères fondateurs un peu oubliés, que dans l’élaboration d’une pensée politique anarchiste et libertaire. En dépit de son importance, ce testament intellectuel n’était jusqu’à présent disponible que sous forme d’extraits. Cette réédition intégrale permet ainsi de combler une lacune éditoriale alors même que la figure d’Elisée Reclus connaît, depuis une dizaine d’années, un regain d’intérêt, tant parmi les chercheurs que chez le grand public.

This open access book presents the first detailed study of one of the most important masterpieces of Renaissance cartography, Martin Waldseemüller’s Carta marina of 1516. By transcribing, translating into English, and detailing the sources of all of the descriptive texts on the map, as well as the sources of many of the images, the book makes the map available to scholars in a wholly unprecedented way. In addition, the book provides revealing insights into how Waldseemüller went about making the map -- information that can’t be found in any other source. The Carta marina is the result of Waldseemüller’s radical re-evaluation of what a world map should be; he essentially started from scratch when he created it, rejecting the Ptolemaic model and other sources he had used in creating his 1507 map, and added more descriptive texts and a wealth of illustrations. Given its content, the book offers an essential reference work not only on this map, but also for anyone working in sixteenth-century European cartography. .

El principal objeto de estudio de este libro es el altepetl, o pueblo de indios, que fue la unidad política fundamental de los habitantes del México central desde tiempos prehispánicos hasta mediados de la época colonial. El análisis de sus características y su evolución, especialmente compleja en vista de las transformaciones que impuso la dominación española, se entreteje en estas páginas con la narrativa del desarrollo de los pueblos en una zona en particular, que es en términos generales la que hoy se conoce como Sierra Norte de Puebla. Esta fascinante historia de una treintena de pequeños estados semiautónomos, pues tal cosa fueron los pueblos, refleja fielmente muchos de los rasgos fundamentales de la vida de los indios y del desarrollo de algunas regiones novohispanas en los siglos XVI y XVII. Parte importante de este libro está dedicada a examinar, con riguroso apoyo documental, las condiciones y los conflictos que llevaron a los pueblos a su disgregación y a su ocaso como cuerpos políticos.

This groundbreaking work examines engagement between people and the environment across a variety of themes, from aboriginal appropriation of nature to colonistsâ reworking of physical and conceptual geographies, demonstrating the consequences of these interactions as they permeated various social and cultural spheres. It offers a new lens for viewing a region as it provides fresh insight into such topics as landscape change, perceptions of place, and Indigenous-white relations. The Fraser Valley has long been a scene of natural resource appropriation--furs and fish, timber and agriculture--with settlement patterns and land claims centering on the use of these materials. Oliver demonstrates how social change and cultural understanding are tied to the way that people use and remake the landscape. Drawing on ethnographic texts, archaeological evidence, cartography, and historical writing, he has created a deep history of the valley that enables us to view how human entanglements with landscape were creative of a variety of contentious issues. By capturing the multiple dynamics that were operating in the past, Oliver shows us not only how landscape transformations were implicated in constructing different perceptions of place but also how such changes influenced peoplesâ understanding of history and identity. The Fraser Valley in British Columbia has been viewed historically as a typical setting of Indigenous-white interaction. Jeff Oliver now reexamines the social history of this region from pre-contact to the violent upheavals of nineteenth and early twentieth century colonialism to argue that the dominant discourses of progress and colonialism often mask the real social and physical process of change that occurred here--change that can be more meaningfully tied to transformations in the land.
