Book excerpt: Blevin's work is the first devoted entirely to the mapping of Yellowstone National Park. "Mapping Yellowstone" covers the period from the discovery of America through to the 1920s with maps covering the period from 1796 to 1986. Emphasis is on initial exploration of the park, and continuing through to the period of extensive U.S. government cartography from 1814 to 1883. Aspects of mapping include: early conjectures, fur trapping era, military expeditions, geologic surveys, government boundaries, personal travel accounts and promotional and atlas cartography. Samples of atlas illustrations are used to represent what the majority of the public knew about the park during the early years. Many maps discussed and illustrated are unpublished manuscript maps or maps with very limited distribution. There are 306 maps included in this history on the mapping of Yellowstone National Park with 210 illustrations. An exhaustive effort to chronicle the mapping of one of the great U.S. national parks.

This book was released on 2004-04-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Grusin's innovative study investigates how the establishment of national parks participated in the production of American national identity after the Civil War. The creation of America's national parks is usually seen as an uncomplicated act of environmental preservation. Grusin argues, instead, that parks must be understood as complex cultural technologies for the reproduction of nature as landscape art. He explores the origins of America's three major parks - Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Grand Canyon--in relation to other forms of landscape representation including photography, mapping, travel writing and fiction.

Download or read book Geology of National Parks of Central Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania written by Roger N. Scoon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the interrelationship between the spectacular geology of an area of East Africa that includes a branch of the rift valley, as well as giant freestanding ice-capped mountains and extraordinarily toxic, alkaline lakes, and some of the greatest concentrations of wildlife on Earth. It suggests that geological processes that have shaped the iconic landforms, including active volcanoes, may also be responsible for the unusually diverse speciation which characterises the region. Moreover, it is not a coincidence that important palaeoanthropological discoveries have been unearthed in the region. National parks and conservation areas have tremendous potential for geotourism and the book assists both tour guides and visitors in this regard. In addition, the book may provide a better understanding to management of the importance of geology for sustaining wildlife.
Download or read book Cartographic Expeditions and Visual Culture in the Nineteenth Century Americas written by Ernesto Capello and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, gridding, graphing, and surveying proliferated as never before as nations and empires expanded into hitherto "unknown" territories. Though nominally geared toward justifying territorial claims and collecting scientific data, expeditions also produced vast troves of visual and artistic material. This book considers the explosion of expeditionary mapping and its links to visual culture across the Americas, arguing that acts of measurement are also aesthetic acts. Such visual interventions intersect with new technologies, with sociopolitical power and conflict, and with shifting public tastes and consumption practices. Several key questions shape this examination: What kinds of nineteenth-century visual practices and technologies of seeing do these materials engage? How does scientific knowledge get translated into the visual and disseminated to the public? What are the commonalities and distinctions in mapping strategies between North and South America? How does the constitution of expeditionary lines reorder space and the natural landscape itself? The volume represents the first transnational and hemispheric analysis of nineteenth-century cartographic aesthetics, and features the multi-disciplinary perspective of historians, geographers, and art historians.

Book excerpt: A never-before-seen collection of United States National Park Service maps This book brings togethere a collection of over 400 maps produced by the United States National Park Service from 1910 to today. Photographer Brian Kelley has impulsively archived the rarely seen treasures over the past three years, uncovering a design portfolio with little to no credit to their respective designers. The growing collection displays a progressive design approach, from more typographic-driven covers, to the proliferation of duotone print production, culminating in the Unigrid system developed by Italian designer Massimo Vignelli in the 1970s.
