Includes bibliographical references (pages 107-109)."For over two thousand years, mapmakers have struggled with the problem of representing a three-dimensional planet on a two-dimensional canvas. Infinite Perspectives traces the artistic and scientific evolution of the age-old quest to conquer this challenge. From ancient Greek coins to detailed nineteenth-century Swiss Alpine maps to the inconceivably scaled landscapes of Mars, more than eighty color maps illustrate history's most enduring attempts to pay cartographic homage to the multidimensional landscape. An additional twenty plates present a revolutionary cartographic technique that allows viewers wearing ordinary 3-D glasses to examine the Earth and beyond with an accuracy and clarity undreamed of even a generation ago.The first comprehensive overview of the ancient saga of relief mapmaking, Infinite Perspectives is a treasure for the map enthusiast, the cartographer, and the explorer in all of us."--BOOK JACKET.

Past time : geology in European and American art / by Phagan, Patricia(Patricia Elaine),author.(CARDINAL)176294; Schneiderman, Jill S.,writer of additional text.(CARDINAL)782717; Vassar College.Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center,host institution.(CARDINAL)225909; Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art,host institution.(CARDINAL)164401;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 137-140) and index.This is a beautifully illustrated, interdisciplinary volume which explores how European and American artists of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries revealed a compelling interest in dramatic geologic phenomena: caves and natural arches, boulders and rock formations, mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, and cliffs. From a topographical, often strata-focused means to a later mode that evoked natures great transformational powers over time, European and American artists pursued their cross-cultural travels in seeking geological wonders. The authors address the importance and history of geology, the most popular science of the 1800s. 'Past Time' features a combination of outstanding drawings, watercolours, and brilliant oil sketches and studies, with works by Asher B Durand, Frederic Church, John Singer Sargent, Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, J. M. W. Turner, Joseph Wright of Derby, and Thomas Rowlandson, amongst many others. This volume is a great addition to the currently available publications on the relationship between the growth of natural science and the interest amongst artists in capturing and presenting scientific phenomena and an ever-changing earth.
