Abstract

"De wereld in kaart gebracht" beschrijft de zoektocht van de mensheid om de wereld in beeld te brengen aan de hand van ruim zeventig historische en moderne kaarten. Er zijn middeleeuwse kaarten die de locatie van het paradijs aanduiden en routekaarten voor pelgrims of kruisvaarders, kaarten die de eerste pogingen onthullen om grenzen tussen landen aan te geven en kaarten die de groeiende kennis van de wereld van de Europeanen in de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw weerspiegelen. Koloniale imperia werden in kaart gebracht. Tegenwoordig staat de cartografie voor nieuwe uitdagingen zoals: de London Underground map, het digitaal orthografisch project van New York State, de ozonlaag, El Niño, de oceaanbodem, topografie van Mars.

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.

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;.
