Download or read book The Cadastral Map in the Service of the State written by Roger J. P. Kain and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history the control of land has been the basis of political power. Cadastral maps - cartographic records of property ownership - played an important role in the rise of modern Europe as tools for the consolidation and extension of land-based national power. The Cadastral Map in the Service of the State: A History of Properly Mapping, illustrated with 127 maps, traces the development and application of rural property mapping in Europe and European colonies from the Renaissance through the nineteenth century. The authors go beyond traditional cartographic research, approaching the maps as political instruments rather than as simple geographical or historical tools. The result is an unprecedented examination of the political and economic forces behind the production of maps and advances in cartography, demonstrating how the seemingly neutral science of cartography became a political instrument for national interests. Beginning with a review of the roots of cadastral mapping in the Roman Empire, the authors concentrate on the use of cadastral maps in the Netherlands, France, England, the Nordic countries, the German lands, the territories of the Austrian Habsburgs, and the European colonies. During the seventeenth century, governments began to use maps to secure economic and political bases; by the nineteenth century, these maps had become tools for aggressive governmental control of land as tax bases, natural resources, and national territories. The culmination of extensive bibliographic and archival research made possible by the authors' considerable linguistic skills, this work draws from source materials in ten languages and spanning five centuries. It will remain thedefinitive source on the subject for years to come. The Cadastral Map in the Service of the State was awarded the 1991 Kenneth Nebenzahl Prize for the best new manuscript in the history of cartography.
Download or read book Lascaux written by Norbert Aujoulat and published by . This book was released on 2005-06-07 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovered by chance by two boys in France in 1940, the cave of Lascaux, with its radiant wall paintings of bison, aurochs, horses, and deer, offers us the most astonishing view we have of the shadowy, powerful animal world of the Old Stone Age some 18,000 years ago. In the early 1960s, when it became clear that the paintings were beginning to fade as countless tourists flocked to see them, the cave was sealed, ancient atmospheric conditions were restored, and even scientists were allowed to enter the cave only a few hours each week. Today this prehistoric monument remains closed to the public. Following 10 years of research on the Lascaux cave, the prehistorian and geologist Norbert Aujoulat offers us his stunning interpretation of the paintings. In this lavishly illustrated volume, packed with new photographs, maps, and explanatory diagrams of the paintings, he takes us on a journey from the entrance of the cave back to its deepest and most hidden parts. In the process, he provides us with new insight into these remarkable works, tracing the birth of ancient mythologies, and of art.

Download or read book Symbols Through Time written by Andrzej Rozwadowski and published by David Brown Book Company. This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims to reveal the symbolic basis behind much of the rock art imagery of Central Asia (particularly that in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan with reference to adjacent countries) through the prism of the diversity of ethnic, religious and economic traditions that provided the dynamic interactions throughout the history of this region. It starts with a short introduction to the archaeology, the preceding scholarship and the earliest rock art. Then it moves to the times of the Indo-European migrations, developing new insight into the symbolism of petroglyphs through the Indo-Iranian cosmology and cosmogony. Part three discuses the art of Iranian-Turkic "Early Nomads". Finally, the author analyses the problem of persistence of ancient art and symbolic traditions in new contexts with references to Navruz rites, interactions between shamanism and mystical Islam, and the symbolism of landscape.

Download or read book Tafilet written by Walter Harris and published by . This book was released on 1895 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1895, this book recounts the author's 1893 expedition to the Tafilet oasis in Morocco, one of the largest oases in the world. Previously largely inaccessible (before the invention of the motor car it was at least 10 days' journey south of Fez across the Atlas mountains and the Sahara), Harris took advantage of the Sultan of Morocco Mulai el Hassen's decision to pay a visit to the oasis during the autumn of that year. Throughout the book the author describes in great detail the places he visited and the people he met along the way. There are detailed descriptions of Marrakesh and the villages of the Atlas Mountains, as well as ruminations on the differences between the Arabs and the Berber tribes, and the situation of the Jews. Crossing the desert, Harris reached the Sultan's camp at the edge of the oasis, and there follows a detailed description of the activities of the Sultan and his retinue, their dealings with the troublesome tribes of the area, and accounts of the history, geography and people of Tafilet. The book concludes with the author's return journey to the north, and an account of the events following the Sultan's own return from the oasis and his subsequent death. Painting as it does a vivid picture of the state of Morocco at the very end of the 19th century, Walter B. Harris's Tafilet is sure to be of great interest to all those fascinated by the history of this unique and diverse North African country.
