Book Description
Excerpt from The Historical Geography of the Wealden Iron Industry The progress of geographical thought has been a marked feature of the last twenty years, and it has become evident that we greatly need more research to bring together facts which will amplify and test our generaliza tions. The results of the researches are often embodied in papers which are too long to appear as articles in the ordinary scientific journals, and there has been a difficulty in bringing them out in book form. The Geographical Association is therefore indebted to Messrs. Benn Brothers, Limited, for their co-operation in the present effort to issue research monographs from time to time in a series primarily intended for members of the Association and sister Associations, but, we hope, of interest also to a wider public. The publications in this series are to be essentially research monographs, giving the results of new and fresh works of geographical nature. But it is strongly felt that too strict an interpretation of the province of geography would be inappropriate. Both education and research are suffering severely at the present time from the over development of specialization. Against this geography offers its steady protest, for it is on the one hand closely linked with the natural sciences, and on the other hand intertwines its hypotheses with those of the anthropologist and the historian.this interesting phenomenon of the past life of our country, and helps to bring out t the life of the district bespeak for this volume and for the series the sympathetic appreciation of all those who are interested in the progress of geographical thought.

Historical Geography, GIScience and Textual Analysis
Author: Charles Travis
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030375692
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book illustrates how literature, history and geographical analysis complement and enrich each other’s disciplinary endeavors. The Hun-Lenox Globe, constructed in 1510, contains the Latin phrase 'Hic sunt dracones' ('Here be dragons'), warning sailors of the dangers of drifting into uncharted waters. Nearly half a millennium earlier, the practice of ‘earth-writing’ (geographia) emerged from the cloisters of the great library of Alexandria, as a discipline blending the twin pursuits of Strabo’s poetic impression of places, and Herodotus’ chronicles of events and cultures. Eratosthenes, a librarian at Alexandria, and the mathematician Ptolemy employed geometry as another language with which to pursue ‘earth-writing’. From this ancient, East Mediterranean fount, the streams of literary perception, historical record and geographical analysis (phenomenological and Euclidean) found confluence. The aim of this collection is to recover such means and seek the fount of such rich waters, by exploring relations between historical geography, geographic information science (GIS) / geoscience, and textual analysis. The book discusses and illustrates current case studies, trends and discourses in European, American and Asian spheres, where historical geography is practiced in concert with human and physical applications of GIS (and the broader geosciences) and the analysis of text - broadly conceived as archival, literary, historical, cultural, climatic, scientific, digital, cinematic and media. Time as a multi-scaled concept (again, broadly conceived) is the pivot around which the interdisciplinary contributions to this volume revolve. In The Landscape of Time (2002) the historian John Lewis Gaddis posits: “What if we were to think of history as a kind of mapping?” He links the ancient practice of mapmaking with the three-part conception of time (past, present, and future). Gaddis presents the practices of cartography and historical narrative as attempts to manage infinitely complex subjects by imposing abstract grids to frame the phenomena being examined— longitude and latitude to frame landscapes and, occidental and oriental temporal scales to frame timescapes. Gaddis contends that if the past is a landscape and history is the way we represent it, then it follows that pattern recognition constitutes a primary form of human perception, one that can be parsed empirically, statistically and phenomenologically. In turn, this volume reasons that literary, historical, cartographical, scientific, mathematical, and counterfactual narratives create their own spatio-temporal frames of reference. Confluences between the poetic and the positivistic; the empirical and the impressionistic; the epic and the episodic; and the chronologic and the chorologic, can be identified and studied by integrating practices in historical geography, GIScience / geoscience and textual analysis. As a result, new perceptions and insights, facilitating further avenues of scholarship into uncharted waters emerge. The various ways in which geographical, historical and textual perspectives are hermeneutically woven together in this volume illuminates the different methods with which to explore terrae incognitaes of knowledge beyond the shores of their own separate disciplinary islands.
