{"product_id":"terrae-incognitae-carla-lois-9789004369764","title":"Terrae Incognitae: Mapping the Unknown","description":"The blank spots on a map and the legends that speak of \u003ci\u003eterrae incognitae\u003c\/i\u003e are among the most seductive sirens of the cartographic imagination. They hint at the existence of unknown lands, yet tell us nothing about what they are or what they might be like.\u003cbr\u003e Do such lands even exist? How many types of \u003ci\u003eterrae incognitae\u003c\/i\u003e are there? What does it mean, and what has it meant, to mark a land as unknown? Why do so many maps of the last five centuries insist on reserving a place for unknown geographies?\u003cbr\u003e This book navigates the cartographic unknown, exploring its contribution to the history of knowledge and geographical culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carla Lois\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004369767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004369764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Carla Lois","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46767327215871,"sku":"9789004369764","price":151.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65df67c6-9969-463e-a28b-49391f4a705e.jpg?v=1744169495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/terrae-incognitae-carla-lois-9789004369764","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
