But the methods of gathering data for map-making, of course, have changed drastically. Mapping: A Critical Introduction to Cartography and GIS examines the critical role that Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and cartography play in the study of geography and a wide range of disciplines. By exploring topics such as race and identity, the politics of GIS, the mapping of cyberspace, surveillance, and map art, we discover exactly what it means to "use" maps and GIS critically in today's world." "The book also examines the historical development of mapping, reviews the emergence of thematic mapping in modern Europe, and explores how maps produce space and place. Several real-world case studies illustrate key concepts and provide readers with a practical context for the theoretical approaches and ideas being presented. Mapping: A Critical Introduction to Cartography and GIS firmly situates mapping at the heart of thinking geographically and provides readers with a solid conceptual foundation in the basic principles of cartography and the technological advances that have changed the face of map-making."--Jacket The biographical and social foundations of Horace's poetic voice / David Armstrong Horace's friendship : adaptation of a circular argument / William Anderson Horace and imperial patronage / Phebe Lowell Bowditch The Roman site identified as Horace's villa at Licenza, Italy / Bernard Frischer The epodes : genre, theme and arrangement / David Mankin Defining a lyric ethos : Archilochus Lyricus and Horace / Gregson Davis Horace and lesbian lyric / Jenny Strauss Clay Horace's debt to Pindar / William Race Female figures in Horace's odes / Ronnie Ancona The Roman odes / Hans Peter Syndikus Horace : Odes IV / Michèle Lowrie The Carmen saeculare / Michael Putnam Horace and Lucilius / Catherine Schlegel Horatius Anceps : persona and self-revelation in satire and song / Kirk Freudenberg Return to sender : Horace's Sermo from the epistles to the satires / Andrea Cucchiarelli The epistles / Ralph Johnson The reception of Horace's odes / Lowell Edmunds The metempsychosis of Horace : the reception of the sermones and epistulae / Susanna Braund Reception of Horace's Ars poetica / Leon Golden. The Roman poet Horace is still read today, in and out of the classroom. Davis (classics and comparative literature, Duke University) presents articles that place Horace in his time and place, that of the rise of the Empire under Caesar Augustus, before moving on to interpretations of his writing. The connections to the Emperor and his friends are explained, including the vital topic of patronage. A look at a possible site for Horace's villa is another means of providing context to the poems. The main body of the book gives aspects of the poetry. The political and literary sources of the Odes and Epodes are explored, along with an unvarnished look at his attitude toward women. The Satires and Epistles are examined separately. The final section covers the ways in which Horace was read from his lifetime to the present. These essays are not simply summaries of earlier work, but raise new questions about Horace, making this much more than a reference work. Each essay has suggestions for further reading and there is also a comprehensive bibliography "Mapping: A Critical Introduction to Cartography and GIS is an introduction to the critical issues surrounding mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) across a wide range of disciplines for the non-specialist reader.: Examines the key influences Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and cartography have on the study of geography and other related disciplines; Represents the first in-depth summary of the 'new cartography' that has appeared since the early 1990s; Provides an explanation of what this new critical cartography is, why it is important, and how it is relevant to a broad, interdisciplinary set of readers; Presents theoretical discussion supplemented with real-world case studies; Brings together both a technical understanding of GIS and mapping as well as sensitivity to the importance of theory" -- Provided by publisher
