Download or read book Tracks on the Ocean written by Sara Caputo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging look at ocean routes’ complicated beginnings and elusive impact. Sara Caputo’s Tracks on the Ocean is a sweeping history of how we have understood routes of travel over the ocean and how we came to represent that movement as a cartographical line. Focusing on the representation of sea journeys in the Western world from the early sixteenth century to the present, Caputo deftly argues that the depiction of these lines is inextricable from European imperialism, the rise of modernity, and attempts at mastery over nature. Caputo recounts the history of ocean tracks through an array of lively stories and characters, from the expeditions of Captain James Cook in the eighteenth century to tracks depicted in Moby Dick and popular culture of the nineteenth century to the use of navigational techniques by the British navy. She discusses how tracks evolved from tools of surveying into tools of surveillance and, eventually, into paths of environmental calamity. The impulse to record tracks on the ocean is, Caputo argues, reflective of an ongoing desire for order, schematization, and personal visibility, as well as occupation and permanent ownership—in this case over something that is unoccupiable and impossible to truly possess. Both beautifully written and deeply researched, Tracks on the Ocean shares how the lines drawn on maps tell the audacious and often tragic and violent stories of ocean voyages.

Download or read book The Greene Book of Black Knowledge written by Will EL M. STJ Heron and published by Web of Truth. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What stake do we as Foundational Black Americans really have to claim in the history of this country, this continent, and the world, if any? When you think of Foundational Black Americans (formerly misnomered as African Americans/Negroes/Coloreds/Black) what thought comes to mind and what accomplishments are we known for? Were we slaves brought to this country by force, low-class citizens of a foreign nation with no home to call their own? Or is there more to the story, so much more that even the mere mention of our accolades would discredit the history of the masses? What if I were to tell you that our history in this country, from the perspective that everything we have been taught, is but a half truth? Who built the buildings, roads, and monuments in this country? Where did those people come from and where did they go? Where did the many science, technology and artforms of the country and the world develop? What is the hidden history behind what we are taught, but most importantly why is this knowledge kept from us? This book will capture some of the lesser known accomplishments and esoteric information that has been passed down “word of mouth” by some and systematically discredited by others. Fortunately, true knowledge can neither cease nor desist and this text will show what you can do to utilize that information today. It is time that we take our own history by the rungs away from those who would paint an inaccurate picture of our past. This will allow us to re-introduce ourselves, not for exposure and clout, but for self-vindication and reasonable doubt.

Download or read book Patagonia written by Colin McEwan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some fourteen to ten thousand years ago, as ice-caps shrank and glaciers retreated, the first bands of hunter-gatherers began to colonize the continental extremity of South America--"the uttermost end of the earth." Their arrival marked the culmination of humankind's epic journey to people the globe. Now they are extinct. This book tells their story. The book describes how these intrepid nomads confronted a hostile climate every bit as forbidding as ice-age Europe as they penetrated and settled the wilds of Fuego-Patagonia. Much later, sixteenth-century European voyagers encountered their descendants: the Aünikenk (southern Tehuelche), Selk'nam (Ona), Yámana (Yahgan), and Kawashekar (Alacaluf), living, as the Europeans saw it, in a state of savagery. The first contacts led to tales of a race of giants and, ever since, Patagonia has exerted a special hold on the European imagination. Tragically, by the mid-twentieth century, the last remnants of the indigenous way of life had disappeared for ever. The essays in this volume trace a largely unwritten history of human adaptation, survival, and eventual extinction. Accompanied by 110 striking photographs, they are published to accompany a major exhibition on Fuego-Patagonia at the Museum of Mankind, London. The contributors are Gillian Beer, Luis Alberto Borrero, Anne Chapman, Chalmers M. Clapperton, Andrew P. Currant, Jean-Paul Duviols, Mateo Martinic B., Robert D. McCulloch, Colin McEwan, Francisco Mena L., Alfredo Prieto, Jorge Rabassa, and Michael Taussig. Originally published in 1998. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Download or read book Patagonia written by Chris Moss and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patagonia is the ultimate landscape of the mind. Like Siberia and the Sahara, it has become a metaphor for nothingness and extremity. Its frontiers have stretched beyond the political boundaries of Argentina and Chile to encompass an evocative idea of place. A vast triangle at the southern tip of the New World, this region of barren steppes, soaring peaks and fierce winds was populated by small tribes of hunter-gatherers and roaming nomads when Ferdinand Magellan made landfall in 1520. A fateful moment for the natives, this was the start of an era of adventure and exploration. Soon Sir Francis Drake and John Byron, and sailors from Europe and America, would be exploring Patagonia's bays and inlets, mapping fjords and channels, whaling, sifting the streams for gold in the endless search for Eldorado. As the land was opened up in the nineteenth century, a crazed Frenchman declared himself King. A group of Welsh families sailed from Liverpool to Northern Patagonia to found a New Jerusalem in the desert. Further down the same river, Butch and Sundance took time out from bank robbing to run a small ranch near the Patagonian Andes. All these, and later travel writers, have left sketches and records, memoirs and diaries evoking Patagonia's grip on the imagination. From the empty plains to the crashing seas, from the giant dinosaur fossils to glacial sculptures, the landscape has inspired generations of travellers and artists.
