Mapping Nature Across the Americas, by James R. Akerman First Edition
Condition: VeryGood.
"Mapping Nature Across the Americas, edited by Kathleen A. Brosnan and James R. Akerman, explores the evolution of environmental knowledge through historical maps across the Americas. Divided into three thematic sections—People’s Nature, Reinventors’ Nature, and State’s Nature—the book examines indigenous cartographic practices, European scientific mapping innovations, and state-driven territorial control via maps. It highlights examples such as the Ayer Map of Teotihuacan, Andean mountain range surveys by La Condamine and Bouguer, and the antebellum shellfish industry’s ties to social dynamics, illustrating how maps reflect cultural exchange, scientific progress, and power relations."
