Redlands, Calif.: ESRI Press, 2004, stated First Printing, March 2004, 147pp., very good dust-jacket with slightest waviness on reverse on the overlapping folded margin, invisible from outside and only sensed by moving one…'s hand over the jacket, near fine oversized maroon red cloth. "David Rumsey's collection of historical maps is one of the largest and most complete of its kind. Focused for the most part on North and South America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the collection is comprised of more than 150,000 items: maps, atlases, and contextual supporting documents. Unlike similar collections, the delicacy and rarity of which necessitate careful storage and restricted-use policies, The Rumsey Collection is available in growing numbers on the Web - and it is this conjunction of old and new technologies that is the heart of Cartographica Extraordinaire." - CONTENTS: Introduction : the historical map transformed -- Exploring a new world -- Venturing into the interior -- Drawing patterns on the land -- Showing the shape of the land -- Connecting place to place -- Settling into the city -- Afterword : The brick, the mortar, the pixel -- Chronological image bibliography. 9781589480445 ISBN 1589480449.
