Whilst documents and other written material are obvious resources that help shape our view of the past, maps too can say much about a nation's history. This is the first book to take maps seriously as a form of history, from the earliest representations of Scotland by Ptolemy in the second century AD to the most recent form of Scotland's mapping and geographical representation in GIS, satellite imagery and SATNAV.
Compiled by three experts who have spent their lives working with maps, Scotland: Mapping the Nation offers a fascinating and thought-provoking perspective on Scottish history which is beautifully illustrated with complete facsimiles and details of hundreds of the most significant manuscript and printed maps from the National Library of Scotland and other institutions, including those by Timothy Pont, Joan Blaeu and William Roy, amongst many others.

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. This excellent volume, written by the Map Curator of the National Library of Scotland, the Chair of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society's Collections Committee, and the Geographer Royal for Scotland, provides a history of Scotland through its maps. The authors write in the preface, "this book is he first to approach the study of the maps of Scotland in ways which both illuminate Scotland's geography and history and show how Scotland's maps and its map history have a history - indeed, are themselves the very 'stuff' of Scotland's history." The pages of the book are filled with fascinating color illustrations of historical maps, and the text is accessible and compelling. Winner of the Saltire Scottish Research Book of the Year award, this book is an impressive achievement and a joy to read. N° de réf. du vendeur 388
