{"product_id":"mapping-mountains-ernesto-capello-9789004441231","title":"Mapping Mountains","description":"Mountains appear in the oldest known maps yet their representation has proven a notoriously difficult challenge for map makers. In this essay, Ernesto Capello surveys the broad history of relief representation in cartography with an emphasis on the allegorical, commercial and political uses of mapping mountains. After an initial overview and critique of the traditional historiography and development of techniques of relief representation, the essay features four clusters of mountain mapping emphases. These include visions of mountains as paradise, the mountain as site of colonial and postcolonial encounter, the development of elevation profiles and panoramas, and mountains as mass-marketed touristed itineraries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernesto Capello\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004441239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004441231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Ernesto Capello","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545773527295,"sku":"9789004441231","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0228b359-05eb-4ae0-a204-9f6c3e37d28b.jpg?v=1738183287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mapping-mountains-ernesto-capello-9789004441231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
