Synopsis
Mapping America: Exploring the Continent is a handsomely illustrated survey of North America s cartographic landscape, and the latest title in Black Dog Publishing's award-winning mapping series. Featuring an array of maps that chart the development of the continent, Mapping America explores a gamut of cartographic methods, from early engravings, to the latest satellite technology. Mapping America contains maps from four centuries, portraying the emotive story of North Americas progression, from colonial beginnings, through to the division of the states, and up to the current day. Mapping America is exquisitely presented, with hundreds of maps ranging from the historically accurate and informative, to the creative and entertaining. The book presents the reader with a multi-faceted view of the North American physical and cultural landscape; from electoral routes to diminishing native communities, landmark events such as the Civil War, to more recent concerns, including the environment and terrorism. Beautifully presented, Mapping America is not just for cartography enthusiasts but anyone who enjoys the inherent adventure of maps.

2010, 239pp, Illustrated. Hardcover. 29 x 24 cm. Little bump on lower corner, else in good condition. Pakketzending. "Following on from Mapping New York and Mapping London, Mapping America Exploring the Continent takes a similar approach in its presentation, thematically arranging a vivid collection of historic, demographic, cultural and artistic maps to aid the reader on their journey. Featuring four centuries of maps that depict the changing landscape of North America, Mapping America charts the continent through numerous landmark events and uprisings, including the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, and more recent concerns, such as the environment and terrorism. From early maps depicting the country's colonial beginnings, through to contemporary maps depicting America today, the book presents the reader with a multi-faceted view of the North American physical and cultural landscape; from maps showing the electoral routes of Presidential campaigns, to the diminishing native communities shown in census maps, to maps charting the country's health statistics. Alongside the historic, geographic, and political, the book also pays particular attention to the artistic and imaginative, documenting America's rich and descriptive literary and artistic past. The journey taken by Jack Kerouac in the seminal book On the Road is documented in a hand-drawn map, whilst numerous artists known for their interest in cartography will be featured, from the representational to the abstract, including Paula Scher with The United States and Daniel Medina with Map Cube World. Not just for cartography enthusiasts, Mapping America Exploring the Continent appeals to the general reader, as well as specialists in the areas of geography, art, architecture and design. The book's breadth of material, with a variety of maps ranging from the historically accurate to the imaginative and entertaining, makes it accessible to all, and a perfect Christmas gift.".
