Summary:
Every driver in North America shares one miserable, soul-sucking universal experience—being stuck in traffic. But things weren’t always like this. Why is it that the mass transit systems of most cities in the United States and Canada are now utterly inadequate?

Summary:
Every driver in North America shares one miserable, soul-sucking universal experience—being stuck in traffic. But things weren’t always like this. Why is it that the mass transit systems of most cities in the United States and Canada are now utterly inadequate? ''The lost subways of North America'' offers a new way to consider this eternal question, with a strikingly visual—and fun—journey through past, present, and unbuilt urban transit. Using meticulous archival research, cartographer and artist Jake Berman has successfully plotted maps of old train networks covering twenty-three North American metropolises, ranging from New York City’s Civil War–era plan for a steam-powered subway under Fifth Avenue to the ultramodern automated Vancouver SkyTrain and the thousand-mile electric railway system of pre–World War II Los Angeles. He takes us through colorful maps of old, often forgotten streetcar lines, lost ideas for never-built transit, and modern rail systems—drawing us into the captivating transit histories of US and Canadian cities. Berman combines vintage styling with modern printing technology to create a sweeping visual history of North American public transit and urban development. With more than one hundred original maps, accompanied by essays on each city’s urban development, this book presents a fascinating look at North American rapid transit systems.

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:
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.
