{"product_id":"the-geographies-of-enlightenment-edinburgh-phil-dodds-9781783277032","title":"The Geographies of Enlightenment Edinburgh","description":"This innovative book explores how the making of Edinburgh as an influential Enlightenment capital depended on a series of spatial processes that extended across urban, regional, national and global scales. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdinburgh was an Enlightenment city of regional, national and global influence. But how did the people of Enlightenment Edinburgh understand and order their world? How did they encounter, compare and produce different kinds of spaces, from the urban to the world scale? And how did this city set the universal standards by which other places should be judged and transformed? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Geographies of Enlightenment Edinburgh answers these questions by exploring the thousands of urban plans, county surveys, travel accounts and encyclopaedias that passed through a busy Edinburgh bookshop over four decades. It reveals how these geographical publications were produced and shared, and sheds light on the people who bought and used them - including moral philosophers, silk merchants, school teachers, ship's surgeons and slave owners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the story of how specific methods of mapping space came ultimately to predict and organize it, creating a new world in Edinburgh's image. By connecting global processes of knowledge production to intimate accounts of its reception in the city, this book deepens our understanding of the Scottish Enlightenment and the world it made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phil Dodds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783277033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783277032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Phil Dodds","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074863067391,"sku":"9781783277032","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8aeeb9d-1214-48f0-a46e-cbe75979a8d9.jpg?v=1685456211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-geographies-of-enlightenment-edinburgh-phil-dodds-9781783277032","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
