Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its launch in 1987, the History of Cartography series has garnered critical acclaim and sparked a new generation of interdisciplinary scholarship. Cartography in the European Enlightenment, the highly anticipated fourth volume, offers a comprehensive overview of the cartographic practices of Europeans, Russians, and the Ottomans, both at home and in overseas territories, from 1650 to 1800. The social and intellectual changes that swept Enlightenment Europe also transformed many of its mapmaking practices. A new emphasis on geometric principles gave rise to improved tools for measuring and mapping the world, even as large-scale cartographic projects became possible under the aegis of powerful states. Yet older mapping practices persisted: Enlightenment cartography encompassed a wide variety of processes for making, circulating, and using maps of different types. The volume’s more than four hundred encyclopedic articles explore the era’s mapping, covering topics both detailed—such as geodetic surveying, thematic mapping, and map collecting—and broad, such as women and cartography, cartography and the economy, and the art and design of maps. Copious bibliographical references and nearly one thousand full-color illustrations complement the detailed entries.

Download or read book Minor Universality Universalit Mineure written by Markus Messling and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The circulation and entanglements of human beings, data, and goods have not necessarily and by themselves generated a universalising consciousness. The "global" and the "universal", in other words, are not the same. The idea of a world-society remains highly contested. Our times are marked by the fragmentation of a double relativistic character: the inevitable critique of Western universalism on the one hand, and resurgent identitarian and neo-nationalistic claims to identity on the other. Sources of an argumentation for a strong universalism brought forward by Western traditions such as Christianity, Marxism, and Liberalism have largely lost their legitimation. All the while, manifold and situated narratives of a common world that re-address the universal are under way of being produced and gain significance. This volume tracks the development and relevance of such cultural and social practices that posit forms of what we call minor universality. It asks: Where and how do contemporary practices open up concrete settings so as to create experiences, reflections and agencies of a shared humanity?

Download or read book Bureaucrazy Blues written by Dean Hasse and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the people and institutions that influence our daily life. What is eating them? What do they achieve at the end of the day? Bureaucracy is the model that supports them to rise to the top and stay there. Waterland is a fictional country, which is good because people all over the world will recognize leaders who pretend to revitalize society but only do well for themselves. The writer also highlights the hype of our modern timesthe hunt for happiness, the fitness craze, sexual fixations, eating disorders, obsession with animals, extraordinary interest in sports, homophobia, and the desperate search for role models. He also exposes in a subtle way the human failings. In this fairy tale of modern times, the heroes and villains are not kings, knights, witches, or wizards but politicians, psychotherapists, beautiful people, and business tycoons. If you like plots with several layers drenched in dry humor, you will have a good time. We ought to be grateful for his description of the not-so-brave new world. The hilarious happenings in this book will make you understand the weaknesses of the Western world. This book is a fine spoof, except that this is todays reality and not a prediction of the future.
