In a series of eloquent essays he draws upon pictorial images - including maps, sketches, cartoons, paintings, and photographs - to explore and elaborate upon the many and varied ways in which the vast and varied earth, and at times the heavens beyond, have been both imagined and represented as a place of human habitation. The essays include reflections upon geographical discovery; urban cartography and utopian visions; ideas of landscape and the shaping of America; wilderness and masculinity; conceptions of the Pacific; and the imaginative grip of the Equator. Extensively illustrated, this engaging work reveals the richness of the geographical imagination as expressed over the past five centuries."--Bloomsbury publishing.International library of human geography ;12.Geography & visionArt and geographyGeographical perceptionHuman geographyGeographyBICArt and geography.Geographical perception.Human geography.Geography.304.2Cosgrove Denis E.724612UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910965925903321Geography and vision4341841UNINA
