Maps and Memory: Readings of Cartography in Twelfth- and Thirteenth-Century Song China

ABSTRACT

This essay traces the early history of the genre of the empire map in China, examines twelfth-century steles and printed maps of the Chinese territories, and analyses contemporary viewings and readings of maps in this genre. It argues that such maps reached a much broader readership of literate elites over the course of the Song Dynasty (960–1279) and acquired new political significance as maps became powerful symbols in debates concerning the pros and cons of negotiated peace.     

Logboats from Europe and the CD-ROM, or a solution to the endless search for documents (2000 edition)

Bibliographic data capture of logboats from Europe is available as a database which includes more than 6000 pictures or files (corresponding to the same number of A4 pages): as the result of the processing of 700 works dealing with 2400 logboats; 6500 links were established between those logboats and bibliographical references.     

中国古代地理学的目录学考察(二)——汉唐时期目录学中的地理学

本文通过对古典目录学的考察,认为汉唐之间地理学发展的一个重要背景就是,古代学术体系由王官、家法向私著的转变,知识体系从以人载道转为以书载道。而此时期地理学发展有两个十分重要的问题,一是形法的转化与古代地理学两分格局的逐渐形成;二是描绘了地理学的独立知识谱系。

The Secrets of a long life: The Dutch firm of covens & mortier (1685–1866) and their copper plates

Abstract

Commercial map publishing firms between the mid‐sixteenth and mid‐nineteenth centuries needed to prolong the life of their copper plates for as long as possible. In order to avoid the costs of engraving new plates, the famous Dutch publishing house of Covens & Mortier of Amsterdam (1685–1866) amended existing plates for topographical and politico‐administrative changes, engraving errors, imprint alterations and marks resulting from general wear. Not only were the plates altered, but the printed maps themselves were sometimes also modified: a new title cartouche might be pasted on or a date or part of the text scratched away. In these ways the map publishing firm was a master of creative solutions as regards both the re‐use of old copper plates and the ‘renewal’ of old printed maps.     

大数据支持下城市社区生活空间质量的可获性图谱法初探——以西安为例

对城市社区生活空间质量问题的研究是(新)城市社会地理学关注的焦点问题之一。城市社会地理学研究从人本方法论的空间公正视角探讨城市生活空间质量已形成的"城市(社会)生活空间质量观"是开展社区生活空间质量研究的理论基石。本文研究基于大数据理念,借助城市商业、服务与休闲资源场所数据挖掘城市社区、社区资源体系与居民空间可获距离的关联信息。以"城市(社会)生活空间质量观"为理论依托,结合大数据、GIS空间分析方法和地学信息图谱表达方式,提出城市社区生活空间质量的图谱表达理念。在改进"社区资源可获性指数"CRAI的计算方法和对城市社区资源可获性的空间格局进行分析的基础上,提出城市社区生活空间质量的图谱表达形式,以期为深入研究城市社区资源空间剥夺规律及其统筹规划提供方法参考。     

Occipitalization of the Atlas in Two Female Skeletons from Apollonia Pontica,Bulgaria

Occipitalization of the atlas was observed in two adult female skeletons from the Greek colonial site of Apollonia Pontica (5^th to 3^rd centuries BC), located on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Representing a rare congenital anomaly of the atlanto‐occipital junction, this condition has been documented in very few skeletal remains from Classical antiquity. Postmortem damage to one of the specimens prevented an evaluation of its clinical significance. The dimensions of the second specimen, however, suggest that the affected individual may have experienced some neurological symptoms associated with her condition. The burial of the two females in close proximity to one another raises the possibility that they may have been biologically related. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
