Cartography has a troubled history as a technology of power. The
production and distribution of maps, often understood to be
ideological representations that support the interests of their
developers, have served as tools of colonization, imperialism, and
global development, advancing Western notions of space and place at
the expense of Indigenous peoples and other marginalized
communities. But over the past two decades, these marginalized
populations have increasingly turned to participatory mapping
practices to develop new, innovative maps that reassert local
concepts of place and space, thus harnessing the power of
cartography in their struggles for justice. In twelve essays
written by community leaders, activists, and scholars, Radical
Cartographies critically explores the ways in which participatory
mapping is being used by Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and other
traditional groups in Latin America to preserve their territories
and cultural identities. Through this pioneering volume, the
authors fundamentally rethink the role of maps, with significant
lessons for marginalized communities across the globe, and launch a
unique dialogue about the radical edge of a new social cartography.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the
extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases,
their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,
agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even
cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled
