Download or read book A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources written by Eva H. Dodsworth and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary uses of traditional cartographic resources and modern GIS tools allow for the analysis and discovery of information across a wide spectrum of fields. A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources navigates the numerous American and Canadian cartographic resources available in print and online, offering researchers, academics and students with information on how to locate and access the large variety of resources, new and old. Dozens of different cartographic materials are highlighted and summarized, along with lists of map libraries and geospatial centers, and related professional associations. A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources consists of 18 chapters, two appendices, and a detailed index that includes place names, and libraries, structured in a manner consistent with most reference guides, including cartographic categories such as atlases, dictionaries, gazetteers, handbooks, maps, plans, GIS data and other related material. Almost all of the resources listed in this guide are categorized by geography down to the county level, making efficient work of the type of material required to meet the information needs of those interested in researching place-specific cartographic-related resources. Additionally, this guide will help those interested in not only developing a comprehensive collection in these subject areas, but get an understanding of what materials are being collected and housed in specific map libraries, geospatial centers and their related websites. Of particular value are the sections that offer directories of cartographic and GIS libraries, as well as comprehensive lists of geospatial datasets down to the county level. This volume combines the traditional and historical collections of cartography with the modern applications of GIS-based maps and geospatial datasets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of an Ancient House: A History of the Family of Lister or Lyster He thought its merits were his own, was not a whit more lacking in sense than he who would persuade us that pedigree goes for nothing in the history of \mankind. The records of a family, rightly studied, whether it be what is called old or new, may throw light not only on the history of a district or a province or a nation, but on some of the deepest problems connected with science and religion.

Download or read book The Old Mine Road written by Charles Gilbert Hine and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1963 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Mine Road, considered the first road in America designed for wheeled vehicles, was built three hundred years ago by Dutch settlers for access to the mines of the Minisink country. It began in Kingston, New York, wove through Sussex and Warren counties in New Jersey, and ended near the Delaware Water Gap. Many changes have taken place in these regions since C. G. Hine recorded his observations and printed The Old Mine Road for his friends in 1908. Bulldozers have obliterated much of what he saw as he took his readers along the length of the road, describing the natural beauty of the countryside and relating the history and legends linked with the road and the people who lived on its route. This new printing is a facsimile of the first 1908 edition. Henry Charlton Beck's introduction gives a publishing history of the book and provides a biographical sketch about Hine.
Download or read book Connecting Women written by Barton C. Hacker and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Women's networks proliferated during the long nineteenth century in the Atlantic World and began spreading globally. Abetted by transformative changes in communication and transportation (the subject of the first chapter), women established links among themselves, sometimes informally, sometimes as part of formal organizations. Most goal-oriented networks, particularly those with social and political agendas, were personal, national or transnational in nature and inevitably excluded those who did not share the goal. Such activist networks and their influences are the main focus of Part One. Topics addressed include women's national and international networks in British temperance associations; British anti-slavery societies; Italian crime syndicates; the Istanbul region of the Ottoman Empire; Philippine suffragism, early twentieth-century Portuguese political organizations, and Great War relief efforts in France. The chapters in Part Two examine the diverse literary networks that women writers enjoyed, abided, or disdained during the long nineteenth century. Included are the themes of British female utopia and dystopia; how the work of some British women poets both affected and reflected the variety of networks in which they were enmeshed; the intensely personal networks of American writers Mary Moody Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Emily Dickinson, and Alice James; Salem witches reimagined as Romantic heroines by American novelists Caroline Rosina Derby and Ella Taylor; the efforts of Southern autobiographers Rebecca Harding Davis and Elizabeth Avery Meriwether early in the twentieth century to negotiate a place for themselves and the South in American national history; and the significance of women's networks present in the South and absent in Brazil as depicted in Evelyn Scott's 1923 memoir. »--

Download or read book Creeping Conformity written by Richard Harris and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creeping Conformity, the first history of suburbanization in Canada, provides a geographical perspective - both physical and social - on Canada's suburban past. Shaped by internal and external migration, decentralization of employment, and increased use of the streetcar and then the automobile, the rise of the suburb held great social promise, reflecting the aspirations of Canadian families for more domestic space and home ownership. After 1945 however, the suburbs became stereotyped as generic, physically standardized, and socially conformist places. By 1960, they had grown further away - physically and culturally - from their respective parent cities, and brought unanticipated social and environmental consequences. Government intervention also played a key role, encouraging mortgage indebtedness, amortization, and building and subdivision regulations to become the suburban norm. Suburban homes became less affordable and more standardized, and for the first time, Canadian commentators began to speak disdainfully of 'the suburbs, ' or simply 'suburbia.' Creeping Conformity traces how these perceptions emerged to reflect a new suburban reality.

Download or read book Intercontinental Crosscurrents written by Julia Nitz and published by Universitatsverlag Winter. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First presented at the conference 'Intercontinental Cross-Currents: Women's (Net-)Works across Europe and the Americas (1789-1939)' in Wittenberg, Germany, in December 2013, the papers assembled in this volume trace nineteenth-century women's networks inside and outside historical movements and literary texts, in diverse genres, at various historical moments, and from different vantage points. Considered together, the contributions attest to the potential of a woman-centered approach to transatlantic historiographical, cultural, and literary studies. Very much like the people, texts, and objects they examine, they are transatlantic in scope and perspective. Truly inspired by the idea and concept of the Atlantic Crosscurrents, these essays confirm and emphasize interdisciplinarity and methodological variety in (trans-)Atlantic studies.
