Summary:
A multitude of port cities dot Europe’s coastline, each with its own history and relationship to sea transportation and development. In the era of climate change, these cities can offer paradigms and guidance for sustainable development. Taking a comprehensive, map-based approach, "Port city atlas" offers visualizations of 100 port city territories located on four seas and connected through shared waters—from Amsterdam, Antwerp, Barcelona, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Bremen, Calais, Cork, Dover, Dublin, Felixstowe, Fredericia, Ghent, Hamburg, Helsinki, Kiel, Københavns and La Rochelle to Limerick, Liverpool, London, Lübeck, Malmø, Palermo, Ravenna, Riga, Rønne, Rotterdam, Sköldvik, Stockholm, Tallinn, Venice, Zeebrugge and countless others. Conceived as a reference work, "Port city atlas" provides a foundation for comparative analysis beyond the case-study approach, offering a uniquely sea-oriented take on the understanding and urban design of Europe.

Summary:
Et si on reprenait l'écrin des cartes d'Antan pour représenter notre monde actuel ? . C'était la carte phare des anciens atlas, mais les ouvrages modernes l'ont délaissée. Pourtant, la mappemonde recèle bien des atouts. Xemartin Laborde ressuscite cette carte mythique dans une approche innovante, où l'esthétisme suranné se marie à la représentation des enjeux contemporains. Introduites par des textes de Delphine Papin et de Francesca Fattori, les mappemondes de cet ouvrage sont autant de formidables outils pour contempler la Terre d'un point de vue global, que des invitations à se plonger dans ses détails les plus étonnants. Des vents et marées jusqu'aux frontières artificielles que les humains érigent, en passant par la répartition des forêts, les séismes, la montée des eaux et le réchauffement climatique, chacune des cartes de cet atlas vous invite à voir notre planète sous un angle différent.

Summary:
A map is a visual story of the world. It feeds our imagination and shapes our view of the world. A standard atlas, however, predominantly tells only one story: that of the nation-state. It depicts a world in which people are uniformly packed into national containers, enclosed by borders, and in which migration is often represented as threatening invasion arrows. "Free the(...)

Summary:
A map is a visual story of the world. It feeds our imagination and shapes our view of the world. A standard atlas, however, predominantly tells only one story: that of the nation-state. It depicts a world in which people are uniformly packed into national containers, enclosed by borders, and in which migration is often represented as threatening invasion arrows. "Free the map" goes beyond this narrow, state-centric cartography. The book argues for a new cartographic story along the lines of Hermes, the grandson of Atlas and the god of mobility and human connections. To this end, it discusses several visually compelling, alternative cartographic representations of borders and migration. "Free the map" ends with a call to action; artists and cartographers offer exciting ready-to-use challenges for educational and public resources.

Summary:
England has been continuously mapped from Medieval times to the present; politically, administratively and functionally as well as creatively and imaginatively. Maps have helped to define ideas of what England is and could be. They have developed and maintained its identity amongst other nations and explored its essential character and limits. The maps included show a country at times confident but also unsure of itself. Often drawn for purely practical purposes they frequently and unconsciously reveal the true state of the nation, and the hopes and fears of its inhabitants. England has been the crucible for many of the most significant developments in cartography and Mapping England tells the story of how its position in the world has evolved and, in so doing, entails new ways of seeing and expressing such findings in graphic form.

Summary:
Longtemps, les frontières furent des marges, des zones d'épaisseur où s'entremêlaient circulations, échanges et rivalités. Avec l'État moderne, elles sont devenues lignes de souveraineté - tracés géométriques, crêtes de montagnes, fleuves ou dispositifs militaires. Simples traits séparant deux territoires ? Ces lignes, même fortifiées, restent au contraire fragiles, chargées d'histoire, riches de conflits et d'imaginaires. Réunissant philosophe, historien, cartographe, géographe, architecte ou artiste, le collectif Stevenson propose un atlas d'images et de récits autour des lignes qui découpent notre monde. Car tracer une frontière, ce n'est pas seulement séparer, c'est aussi transformer les territoires et façonner jusqu'à nos manières d'habiter la Terre.

Summary:
When Ursula K. Le Guin started writing a new story, she would begin by drawing a map. "The Word for World" presents a selection of these images by the celebrated author, many of which have never been published before, to consider how her imaginary worlds enable us to re-envision our own. Le Guin’s maps offer journeys of consciousness beyond conventional cartography, from the Rorschach-like archipelagos of Earthsea to the talismanic maps of "Always Coming Home." Rather than remaining within known terrain, they open up paradigms of knowledge, exemplified by the map’s edges and how a map is read, made and re-made, together. "The Word for World" brings her maps together with poems, stories, interviews, recipes and essays by contributors from a variety of perspectives to enquire into the relationship between worlds and how they are represented and imagined.
