attention to some of the challenges facing the student of map
history given the longevity and ubiquity of the mapping idea, from
prehistory to the present, and the variety of format, function and
context of maps at any one time. Sessions are designed to explore
the fundamental principles of map history to provide a framework
in which the details of any map from any period can be
accommodated. Stress is laid on the relationship between word and
image, and the role of maps in books, as a counterbalance to the
traditional way of viewing maps in isolation. The key tenet
remains, however, that of the indivisibility of maps as image,
artefact and messenger.<br>
