Bøger af Laura Hostetler

A multi-disciplinary inquiry into the origins and influences of Matteo Ricci's World Map in Chinese from the foundation of the Jesuit Order in 1540 up to the present.

The author shows how Qing China (1636-1911) used cartography and ethnography to pursue its imperial ambitions and her study provides a wealth of insights to anyone interested in the significance of cartography, the growth of empire, or this exciting period of Chinese history.
