Abstract

Historians not only have knowledge of history, but by writing about it and engaging with other historians from the past and present, they make history themselves. This companion offers young historians clear guidelines for the different phases of historical research; how do you get a good historical question? How do you engage with the literature? How do you work with sources from the past, from archives to imagery and objects, art, or landscapes? What is the influence of digitalisation of the historical craft? Broad in scope, Writing History! also addresses historians' traditional support of policy makers and their activity in fields of public history, such as museums, the media, and the leisure sector, and offers support for developing the necessary skills for this wide range of professions.

Abstract

Why are we sometimes unable to remember events, places and objects? This concise overview explores the concept of 'forgetting', and how modern society affects our ability to remember things. It takes ideas from Francis Yates classic work, The Art of Memory, which viewed memory as being dependent on stability, and argues that today's world is full of change, making 'forgetting' characteristic of contemporary society. We live our lives at great speed; cities have become so enormous that they are unmemorable; consumerism has become disconnected from the labour process; urban architecture has a short life-span; and social relationships are less clearly defined - all of which has eroded the foundations on which we build and share our memories. Providing a profound insight into the effects of modern society, this book is a must-read for anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists and philosophers, as well as anyone interested in social theory and the contemporary western world.

Abstract

"From the most ancient images to the contemporary, the line serves as a central figure in the representation of time. The linear metaphor is ubiquitous in visual representations of time - in almanacs, calendars, charts, and graphs of all sorts. Even our everyday speech is filled with talk of time having a "before" and an "after" or being "long" and "short." The timeline is such a familiar part of our mental furniture that it is sometimes hard to remember that we ever acquired it in the first place. And yet, in its modern form, the timeline is not even 250 years old. The story of what came before has until now never been fully told." "Cartographies of Time is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present. Authors Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton have crafted a lively history featuring fanciful characters and unexpected twists and turns. From medieval manuscripts to websites, Cartographies of Time features a wide variety of timelines that in their own unique ways - curving, crossing, branching - defy conventional thinking about the form. A fifty-four-foot-long timeline from 1753 is mounted on a scroll and encased in a protective box, while another timeline uses the different parts of the human body to show the genealogies of Jesus Christ and the rulers of Saxony. Ladders created by Catholic and Protestant missionaries illustrate Bible stories in a vertical format to encourage American Indians in Oregon to convert. Also included is the April 1912 Marconi North Atlantic Communication chart, which tracked ships, including the Titanic, at points in time rather than by their geographic location. There are even little-known works by famous figures, including a historical chronology by the mapmaker Gerardus Mercator and a chronological board game patented by Mark Twain. This lavishly illustrated edition is a revelation to anyone interested in the role visual forms have played incur evolving conception of history."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

De auteur kiest voor een geheel nieuwe benadering van allerlei actuele problemen rond de manier waarop we eten. In dit enthousiaste en visionaire boek volgt de auteur het spoor van ons voedsel, van het platteland tot de stad, via markten en supermarkten, keukens en eettafels, afvalverwerking en terug, en vraagt zich af hoe wij voedsel kunnen benutten als een manier om onze steden beter te begrijpen, beter te ontwerpen, en leefbaarder te maken. Ze schetst een helder beeld van de impact van de moderne voedselproductie op onze planeet en op ons leven en verschaft inzicht in hoe het zo gekomen is en hoe we verder moeten
