"This exciting Greenvill Collins biography is about seventeenth century navigation, focusing for the first time on mathematics practised at sea. This monograph argues the Restoration kings', Charles II and James II, promotion of cartography for both strategy and trade. It is aimed at the academic, cartographic and larger market of marine enthusiasts. Through shipwreck and Arctic marooning, and Dutch and Spanish charts, Collins evolved a Prime Meridian running through Charles's capital. After John Ogilby's successful Britannia, Charles set Collins surveying his kingdom's coasts, and James set John Adair surveying in Scotland. They triangulated at sea. Subsequently, Collins persuaded James to sustain his dead brother's ambition. This, the British coast's first survey took six years. After James's flight, and William III's invasion, Collins lead the royal yacht squadron for six years more, garnering funds to publish Great Britain's Coasting Pilot. The Admiralty and civic institutions subsidised what became his own pilot. Collins aided Royal Society members in their investigations, and his new guide remained vital to navigators through the century following. Charles's cartographic promotion bloomed the most spectacularly in the atlases of Ogilby, Collins and John Flamsteed for roads, harbours, and stars"--

This book is about makers and makerspaces in education. It furnishes and analyzes case studies from sixty teachers working in twenty different school districts in Ontario, Canada. Each author provides research and analyzes data about the process of establishing makerspaces and implementing maker pedagogies with students in grades K-8. The first chapter sets the stage for the book, describing the theoretical framework and methodology used and offering information on the schools in which the research occurred. Subsequent chapters focus on specific topics and individual case studies, including assessment, pedagogic techniques, equity, inclusivity, and methods of making. The book will prove valuable to both researchers and practitioners, any educator interested in this developing topic, including school leaders, school district leaders, educational researchers, and teacher educators. It will also be useful for initial teacher education programs.

Picturing Ecology is a must-read for scholars of visual culture in the sciences, providing an inside-out account of the social, material, and highly visual practices of photography and ecology as they emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. Damian Hughes takes his reader on a journey, from the observation of plants in 19th century botany, to the 20th century observation of 'plant communities’, and the development of an ‘ecological eye’. It makes for compelling reading, and will change the way we think about embedded and embodied practices of photography in the sciences. —Kelley Wilder, Professor of Photographic History, De Montfort University, UK. In this beautifully written and deeply researched book, Damian Hughes has achieved something remarkable. He has provided no less than an authoritative history of the formation of ecology in Great Britain that also demonstrates the integral role played by photography in this formation. Significantly, Hughes shows us in detail how photography was negotiated and integrated into scientific practice. This work is a major contribution that is bound to be a standard go-to for future historians of ecology and photography. —Omar W. Nasim, Professor of History of Science, University of Regensburg, Germany. This insightful and deeply researched book shows how the photograph became a vital tool for understanding the interactions of the living world, recording associations, connections, and ephemeral traces. With a background in ecology, photography, and history, Damian Hughes is ideally qualified to open up fresh perspectives on the significance of visual practices for the making of scientific disciplines. —James A. Secord FBA, Emeritus Professor of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge. This book examines the role of photography and visual culture in the emergence of ecological science between 1895 and 1939. Dr Damian Hughes is an independent researcher and photohistorian with 25 years’ experience as a practicing field ecologist. .
