Résumé:
Piloting a single-engine biplane high above Washington D.C. in 1920, the intrepid inventor and aviation pioneer Sherman Fairchild first tested his custom-built sky camera, effectively founding the aerial photography company that would bear his name. Roaming America's skies for the next 40 years, the photographers of the Fairchild Aerial Survey Company documented nearly every major city in the United States. Their images, bot maplike shots from high above and low-angle raking views, form a definitive portrait of the American landscape. By the 1970s, the Fairchild archive was scattered across the country. Painstakingly reassembled for this book, the images (many of which have never been seen before) are brought together here for the first time. This large-format book collects over 125 extraordinary images taken between the 1920s and the 1960s. The photographs, valued both as works of art and as tools for urban historians, often capture historic moments: the Capitol Building during Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first inauguration and Yankee Stadium during Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Others depict architectural lands: the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Washington Monument, Hoover Dam, and Alcatraz, to name a few.

Résumé:
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.

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.

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(...)

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.

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.

Published to coincide with an exhibition at Chicago’s Newberry Library, Mapping Manifest Destiny: Chicago and the American West charts the historic role maps have played in imagining, understanding, promoting, and exploiting the Western frontier of North America. Featuring more than sixty full-color maps and views from the sixteenth through the twentieth centuries, this fascinating book documents how maps encouraged Euro-Americans to see the West as a land of promise. Maps helped visualize a nation destined to expand across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. Curators Michael P. Conzen and Diane Dillon present an interpretively rich, carefully researched selection of items drawing on the Newberry’s superb collections of historic maps and Western Americana. They have organized the book into four sections: maps for empire, maps for building a new nation, maps for enlightenment, and maps for business.
