For map historians and collectors alike intrigued by the geography and history of the United States in the nineteenth century, this gathering of the writings of Walter W, Ristow, handsomely illustrated with over two hundred quality reproductions of maps, charts, panoramic views, and portraits, is a publication not to be missed. Hailed as having "provided the foundation for the study of commercial cartography," Dr. Ristow, former chief of the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress, is uniquely qualified to document the origins and development of a truly indigenous style of American cartography. Traditionally, the history of American cartography has focused on the discovery, exploration, and colonial periods and on the achievements of European mapmakers. Little is written of the native surveyors, draftsmen, and cartographers who rose to the challenge of supplying maps to a new nation hungry for information about itself. Among the problems that faced the United States were many involving its expansive and often unknown geography, including those as immediate as the determination of the boundaries of each state; without surveying, the Western lands could not be distributed, and the turnpikes, roads, and canals needed to open up the trans-Appalachian territory could not be built. Dr. Ristow discusses at length the work of such American cartographers as Abel Buell and John Melish and also the impact of the rise of lithography, which made possible the low-cost map. Among other topics rich in U.S. history are the atlases that supply us with a remarkable record of Victorian America; post-Civil War surveys of the West; charts and guides for navigating coasts and rivers.

Arctic exploration has long captured the interest and imagination of explorers, nations, and the public. For more than 400 years, European explorers were lured to the Arctic to try to discover a commercial trading route to the Far East, where gold, spices, silk, and other valuable goods were readily available. Expeditions failed to locate the elusive Northwest Passage because virtually nothing was known about the Arctic Archipelago. Early mariners believed that Arctic waters were not frozen for the entire year, but of course it was a false hope that summer months offered safe passage. The cold was always extreme, and tiny wooden vessels were easily crushed against soaring icebergs and ice-choked channels. This exhibit catalogue, published to accompany a 2008 exhibit at the University of Alberta's Bruce Peel Special Collections Library, showcases a selection of books and maps documenting this perilous endeavour.

Unceremoniously discarded by the millions, languishing deep in the corners of overstuffed glove compartments, wedged behind the seat cushions of old Buicks lie forgotten examples of one of the great commercial artifacts of twentieth-century America: the oil-company road map. For generations of intrepid motorists, free maps available at gas stations across America charted the dreams and thrills of adventure on the open road. Hitting the Road traces our country's love affair with the automobile through the colorful graphics and alluring images that graced these charming remnants of a bygone era.Hitting the Road offers a striking collection of illustrations of over 200 road maps, together with a fascinating discussion of the popular culture they reveal. From the early touring maps of 1912, featuring covers ablaze with a sense of motoring adventure, to the Art Deco-inspired graphics of the thirties and the family-oriented images of the fifties and sixties, the examples in Hitting the Road are themselves maps of the recreational twists and turns of the public they sought to guide.

On May 19, 2010, the Royal Thai Army deployed tanks, snipers, and war weapons to disperse the thousands of Red Shirts protesters who had taken over the commercial center of Bangkok to demand democratic elections and an end to inequality. Key to this mobilization were motorcycle taxi drivers, who slowed down, filtered, and severed mobility in the area, claiming a prominent role in national politics and ownership over the city and challenging state hegemony. Four years later, on May 20, 2014, the same army general who directed the dispersal staged a coup, unopposed by protesters. How could state power have been so fragile and open to challenge in 2010 and yet so seemingly sturdy only four years later? How could protesters who had once fearlessly resisted military attacks now remain silent?  Owners of the Map provides answers to these questions—central to contemporary political mobilizations around the globe—through an ethnographic study of motorcycle taxi drivers in Bangkok. Claudio Sopranzetti advances an analysis of power that focuses not on the sturdiness of hegemony or the ubiquity of everyday resistance but on its potential fragility and the work needed for its maintenance.
