Abstract

This book is the first systematic integration of cognitive and semiotic approaches to understanding maps as powerful, abstract, and synthetic spatial representations. Presenting a perspective built on four decades of cartographic research, it explores how maps work at multiple levels--from the cognitive to the societal--and provides a cohesive picture of how the many representational choices inherent in mapping interact with the processing of information and construction of knowledge. &#171;MDUL&#187;&#171;MDNM&#187;Utilizing this complex perspective, the author shows how the insights derived from a better understanding of maps can be used in future map design. Although computers now provide the graphic tools to produce maps of similar or better quality than previous manual techniques, they seldom incorporate the conceptual tools needed to make informed symbolization and design decisions. The search for these conceptual tools is the basis for &#171;MDUL&#187;How Maps Work&#171;MDNM&#187;.

Abstract

"Rome may be renowned for individual sites like the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica, but its most captivating feature is its many overlapping-and surviving-layers of history. Over nearly 3,000 years, the Rome of the Caesars has given way to the Rome of the Popes, the Rome of the Grand Tourists, and several more incarnations down to the present. Along the way, it has also become perhaps the most frequently mapped city on the planet. This book is the first ever published to English to tell the story of Rome through its maps. Each chapter begins with a brief historical overview of one key era and features a selection of maps, details, digitizations, and other images-all produced in full color-that illuminate the themes of that era. From the city's first walls through its master plan for its third millennium, the Romes depicted in these maps all live on in the city that millions still visit and inhabit today"--

Abstract

Imago Mundi is the only English-language scholarly periodical devoted exclusively to the history of pre-modern maps, mapping, and map-related ideas from anywhere in the world. It was founded in Berlin in 1935 by the Russian émigré Leo Bagrow as an annual publication, although only five volumes appeared between 1935 and 1948. From 1975 to 2003 publication was regular. In 2004 Imago Mundi became a biannual publication. The first volume was in German. Thereafter English was used with, very occasionally, French. After 2002 (volume 54) Imago Mundi publishes exclusively in English with foreign language abstracts (currently French, German, and Spanish). A multi-disciplinary approach was adopted in 1995. All articles represent original research, are refereed, and are well illustrated (recent volumes have included color plates). Since 1977 each volume has contained a full complement of scholarly aids in the form of book reviews, bibliography, and chronicles, all of which have made Imago Mundi a valuable journal of record as well as scholarship.
