Cartographies of Time reviewed in Feb/Mar BOOKFORUM · Feb 25, 10:46 AM
Don’t miss the review of our newly published book Cartographies of Time in the Feb/Mar 2010 issue of BOOKFORUM magazine:
“…these charts deliver whole epochs to the eye with a swiftness that belies the myriad days they condense.”
— Albert Mobilio
Cartographies of Time is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present. From medieval manuscripts to websites, the book features a wide variety of timelines that in their own unique ways—curving, crossing, branching—defy conventional thinking about the form. Presented in a lavishly illustrated edition, it’s a revelation to anyone interested in the role visual forms have played in our evolving conception of history.
