You are here : from the compass to GPS, the history and future of how we find ourselves / by Bray, Hiawatha.(CARDINAL)362638;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The hard way -- The new wave -- Out for a spin -- In transit -- Found in space -- The accidental navigators -- Long shots -- A map of one's own -- Checking in -- On the spot."The story of the rise of modern navigation technology, from radio location to GPS-and the consequent decline of privacy What does it mean to never get lost? You Are Here examines the rise of our technologically aided era of navigational omniscience-or how we came to know exactly where we are at all times. In a sweeping history of the development of location technology in the past century, Bray shows how radio signals created to carry telegraph messages were transformed into invisible beacons to guide ships and how a set of rapidly-spinning wheels steered submarines beneath the polar ice cap. But while most of these technologies were developed for and by the military, they are now ubiquitous in our everyday lives. Our phones are now smart enough to pinpoint our presence to within a few feet-and nosy enough to share that information with governments and corporations. Filled with tales of scientists and astronauts, inventors and entrepreneurs, You Are Here tells the story of how humankind ingeniously solved one of its oldest and toughest problems-only to herald a new era in which it's impossible to hide.

Among the artefacts made by Southern African peoples, headrests were the best known and daring a year spent in Europe in 1975-1976, Anitra Nettleton discovered museum stores full of unacknowledged masterpieces made by speakers of numerous Southern African languages. Her subsequent study of the uses, and forms of headrests opened up a number of art-historical methodologies in the attempt to gain University of the Witwatersrand in 1990 enabled African art objects. A Council Fellowship from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1990 enabled the write to develop an archive in the form of nates, photographs and stretches of each headrest she encountered. Many examples from South African collections were added from the early 1990s onwards, expanding the field vastly. Nettleton executed drawings of each and every headrest encountered, which become a major part of the project in their own right."--Jacket.
