Historical Geography

Geography, I
Strabo
Translated by Horace Leonard Jones
More scholar and armchair voyager than actual adventurer (though he claimed he traveled widely--from the Black Sea to Ethiopia, Armenia to Etruria), Strabo, antiquity's great geographer, left us this extraordinary storehouse of travel lore, Geography. In outline he follows the great mathematical geographer Eratosthenes, but adds general descriptions of separate countries including physical, political, and historical details. On the mathematical side it is an invaluable source of information about Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, and Posidonius. Volume I contains the two introductory books.

Manifest Destinies and Indigenous Peoples
Edited by David Maybury-Lewis
Edited by Theodore Macdonald
Edited by Biorn Maybury-Lewis

The renowned anthropologist and human rights advocate David Maybury-Lewis saw the Latin American frontiers as relatively unknown physical spaces as well as unexplored academic “territory.” The authors examine the narrative forms that stirred or rationalized expansion, and emphasize their impact on the native residents. The essays suggest a view of nationalism as a theoretical concept and of frontier expansion as a historical phenomenon.

Ukraine under Western Eyes
Steven Seegel
As part of his personal archive, Krawciw’s maps were bequeathed to Harvard University upon his death in 1975. This book serves as both a catalog of his collection and a description of how the maps he collected serve as an invaluable source for Ukraine’s history and a symbol of Ukrainian national identity.
