"History of Cartography" ed. by Elri Liebenberg, Imre Josef Demhard (Repost)

This volume contains papers on the general theme of Chartered Companies as well as papers on a wider array of themes within the field of historical cartography. The volume comprises most of the research presented at the 3rd International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography which took place at the University of Texas at Arlington on October 11–12, 2010.

This book covers a vast field of knowledge and includes virtually all maps and map-like graphics made by humankind since prehistoric times, and concentrates on the history of cartography since the Enlightenment and, more specifically, on cartographic developments during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
