Download or read book Cartographies of Travel and Navigation written by James R. Akerman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding one’s way with a map is a relatively recent phenomenon. In premodern times, maps were used, if at all, mainly for planning journeys in advance, not for guiding travelers on the road. With the exception of navigational sea charts, the use of maps by travelers only became common in the modern era; indeed, in the last two hundred years, maps have become the most ubiquitous and familiar genre of modern cartography. Examining the historical relationship between travelers, navigation, and maps, Cartographies of Travel and Navigation considers the cartographic response to the new modalities of modern travel brought about by technological and institutional developments in the twentieth century. Highlighting the ways in which the travelers, operators, and planners of modern transportation systems value maps as both navigation tools and as representatives of a radical new mobility, this collection brings the cartography of travel—by road, sea, rail, and air—to the forefront, placing maps at the center of the history of travel and movement. Richly and colorfully illustrated, Cartographies of Travel and Navigation ably fills the void in historical literature on transportation mapping.

Download or read book Indigo Plantations and Science in Colonial India written by Prakash Kumar and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prakash Kumar documents the history of agricultural indigo, exploring the effects of nineteenth-century globalisation on this colonial industry. Charting the indigo culture from the early modern period to the twentieth century, Kumar discusses how knowledge of indigo culture thrived among peasant traditions on the Indian subcontinent in the early modern period and was then developed by Caribbean planters and French naturalists who codified this knowledge into widely disseminated texts. European planters who settled in Bengal with the establishment of British rule in the late eighteenth century drew on this information. From the nineteenth century, indigo culture became more modern, science-based and expert driven, and with the advent of a cheaper, purer synthetic indigo in 1897, indigo science crossed paths with the colonial state's effort to develop a science for agricultural development. Only at the end of the First World War, when the industrial use of synthetic indigo for textile dyeing and printing became almost universal, did the indigo industry's optimism fade away.

Download or read book Transformation of Survey of India written by Prithvish Nag and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 2023-11-25 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Survey of India was established as Survey of Bengal in 1767, and the post of Surveyor General of India is one of the longest-standing scientific roles in the world. For more than 250 years, it has made contributions in the field of surveying and mapping, as well as wider contributions to geography, geology and earth sciences. Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, was named after Sir George Everest, Surveyor General of India, 1830 - 1843. The author’s time as Surveyor General of India in 2001 to 2005 was the first time that a Geographer held this historic post. Transformative changes and initiatives described include reorganisation of the nationwide setup; introduction of dual map series under the National Map Policy 2005; establishment of National Spatial Data Infrastructure; Transformation of Field Operations; Geodesy, including the scientific study of topographical deformation following the tsunami in 2004. This was a time of change and important scientific contributions made during the period. This unique book addresses wide-ranging issues covered under the Survey; Geography, Geology, Forestry, Military Science, Civil Engineering, Geospatial Technology, Architecture, Environment and Ecology. The history of the Survey of India is deeply linked with the history of India itself, so the book will be of particular interest to historians as well.
