It analyses the growth of novel historical and philosophical concerns, from the early and rare examples of medieval travellers such as Marco Polo, through to the more sophisticated narratives of seventeenth-century observers - religious writers such as Jesuit missionaries, or independent antiquarians such as Pietro della Valle. The book's approach combines the detailed contextual analysis of individual narratives with an original long-term interpretation of the role of cross-cultural encounters in the European Renaissance. An extremely wide range of European sources is discussed, including the often neglected but extremely important Iberian and Italian sources. However, the book also discusses a number of non-European sources, Muslim and Hindu, thereby challenging simplistic interpretations of western 'orientalism'. 410 0$aPast and present publications. 517 3 $aTravel & Ethnology in the Renaissance 606 $aEthnology$zEurope$xHistory 607 $aIndia, South$xDescription and travel 615 0$aEthnology$xHistory. 676 $a954.02 700 $aRubie?s$b Joan Pau$0436283 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450541503321 996 $aTravel and ethnology in the Renaissance$92475180 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05471nam 2200649 450 001 9910460920503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-4648-0364-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000000355116 035 $a(EBL)1962955 035 $a(OCoLC)902608842 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001467946 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11903832 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001467946 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11520366 035 $a(PQKB)11712029 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1962955 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1962955 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11017463 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL732821 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000355116 100 $a20150217h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aEast Asia's changing urban landscape $emeasuring a decade of spatial growth 210 1$aWashington, District of Columbia :$cWorld Bank Group,$d2015. 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (183 p.) 225 1 $aUrban Development Series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-336-01539-X 311 $a1-4648-0363-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $a""Cover""; ""Contents""; ""Acknowledgments""; ""Foreword""; ""Abbreviations""; ""Executive Summary""; ""1.

However, understanding the pace, scale, and form of urbanization has been limited by a lack of consistent data. East Asia's Changing Urban Landscape aims to address this problem by using satellite imagery and other data to measure urban expansion across the East Asia and Pacific region between 2000 and 2010. Illustrated with maps and charts, it presents trends in urban expansion and population growth in more than 850 urban areas -- by country, urban area, income group, and city size categories.
