Between 1900 and 2000, more than seventy countries produced a national atlas, an official or quasi-official rendering of the nation-state in maps and accompanying text. This book considers the reasons behind and characteristics of this state-sponsored cartographic explosion. These national atlases mirror and embody some of the important themes of this turbulent century, including the complex connections between nation, state and territory, the rise of state-sponsored science; the growth of nation-states; colonialism and postcolonialism; and the geography of biopolitics.\n\nThe Rise and Fall of the National Atlas in the Twentieth Century\nPower, State and Territory\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nBetween 1900 and 2000, more than seventy countries produced a national atlas, an official or quasi-official;
