	Narrating the Past: Maps in Historical Atlases
		Its appearance was an important aspect of the globalization of the historical atlas, which has interacted with an intellectual critique of Eurocentricity [9] and a call for a greater mapping of non-political topics.
		The back cover makes no reference to this being an atlas: instead it is presented as “the most important new edition of the most successful history of the world ever published.” The introduction has little to say about cartography, the maps, or their limitations, or how best to relate the maps in the book.
		If one of the purposes of historical cartography is to pin down generalizations precisely in space, then it is still the case that historical research skills are at a premium and that lacunae evidence can have a serious impact on any mapping process.

	3CRR Atlas:Cartography
		For this Atlas, we only wanted to give one display of each object, so we need a display method which shows both the bright and faint structure at the same time.
		In the Atlas, we have chosen images which strike a good balance between resolution and sensitivity; we also include a few "supplementary" images with high resolution but poor sensitivity.
		This has pretty much been done for the Atlas images; in the few cases when artifacts are still obvious we mention this in the comments on the Main Page.

	Ortelius Atlas
		One of the most valuable components of the atlas collection is the numerous editions of the revolutionary mapbook Theatrum Orbis Terrarum by Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598), a Flemish scholar and geographer.
		Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of the World) is considered the first true atlas in the modern sense: a collection of uniform map sheets and sustaining text bound to form a book for which copper printing plates were specifically engraved.
		The Ortelius atlas is sometimes referred to as the summary of sixteenth-century cartography.

	French Cartography
		The first printed national Atlas of the French provinces, the equivalent of Saxton's Atlas of the Counties of England and Wales, was produced in Tours in 1594 by Maurice Bouguereau, a printer and publisher, during the period of the Court's 'exile' there.
		The Atlas was not based on a general survey in the Saxton sense but was a collection of maps of different parts of the country made in earlier years and already produced by Ortelius and Mercator in their own atlases: it included only three maps published for the first time.
		Perhaps it is not surprising that this was the first national atlas published in France; printing there had a chequered historv in the sixteenth century and such was the religious intolerance that, at one stage, it was regarded as a form of heresy to the extent that printers were burnt at the stake.

		Cartography is primarily a visual discipline; however, multimedia and multisensory approaches using all of the senses are beginning to be explored.
		At the same time, cartography is moving from a situation where cartographic products are dominated by the suppliers (usually the national mapping agencies) to one where users will be able to create their own maps online from central spatial databases (Rhind, 1998).
		Researchers from cartography, language and literary studies, film studies, music and psychology in the areas of Navigational and Situational Awareness and Multi-sensory research are primarily Context- oriented.

		In the early 1970's the division of cartography was founded within the department of geography and builds today one of its major cornerstones.
		The division of cartography has evolved around cartography and GIS to become a modern unity dealing with aspects of representation, communication and web-based applications.
		The major areas of education and scientific work within the division of cartography are to be seen in topographic and thematic mapping, map related representations, GIS, cartographic DB- management, remote sensing and cartographic communication.
