Overview

ENGMore than just colorful clickbait or pragmatic city grids, maps are often deeply emotional tales: of political projects gone wrong, budding relationships that failed, and countries that vanished. In Map Men, Steven Seegel takes us through some of these historical dramas with a detailed look at the maps that made and unmade the world of East Central Europe. RUS Географические карты – это не просто яркие картинки или сухие топологические визуализации. Зачастую это глубоко эмоциональные истории: о неудачных политических проектах, не сложившихся отношениях и исчезнувших странах. В своей книге Стивен Сигел проводит нас через такие исторических драмы, подробно рассматривая карты, показывающие реальный и воображаемый мир Восточно-Центральной Европы на протяжении периода мировых войн и революций. В коллективной биографии пяти выдающихся географов 1870-1950 годов – Альбрехта Пенка, Эугениуша Ромера, Степана Рудницкого, Исайи Боумана и графа Паля Телеки – Сигел заново исследует эмоции, социальные связи и трагедии нескольких поколений людей, стоящих за этими влиятельными картами.
