There is a reason that the story of globalization pre-sented in this atlas starts in Middlebury. It is in this small Vermont town, home of Middlebury College, where the concept for this atlas was conceived and developed, where most of the maps were designed and drafted, and where the analytical texts were dis cussed and crafted. As critical scholars and profes sors at this liberal arts college, we are keenly aware of the need for fact-based analysis and of the dearth of reliable maps about global processes and flows. We joined together to create an illustrated text that could cast light on the complex nature of globalization. We developed a comprehensive outline of topics and a list of about 100 maps. We were fortunate to have drafts of about half of the maps from the Perthes World Atlas that Guntram had edited previously, but it was clear that we needed to make substantial revisions, develop at least 50 maps on our own, and design a companion website for data updates and additional imagery. We decided to draw on the skills and insight of our students to master this challenge, not just to help us conduct research and design maps, but also to bounce off ideas for the text and maps, and to develop an atlas that was most effective for classroom use. We recruited 15 Middlebury College student research assistants with profound inter-national experience and training in data manage ment and visualizations, such as Q-GIS, Adobe Illustrator, and coding. As a team, we researched options for data collection, discussed strategies for the best representation of data classes, and con ferred about design choices. We faced many difficult choices, such as how to represent data for regions in the world that are occupied by foreign countries, how to draw international boundaries that are con-tested, what to use as the most reliable indicator for social phenomena, or where to source photos for the website. In the end, the strength of the education of IMPRINT our Middlebury students, our own scholarly work, the experience in the classroom, and Middleburys international links helped us address these challenges. Middlebury was instrumental in making this atlas a reality. It offered generous support for our research students and the production of the atlas and website. Its deep commitment to global education served as an inspiration. Middlebury College attracts students from all over the world who come here to pursue an undergraduate degree in liberal arts. Every summer, the campus houses its renowned language school, where students learn 13 world languages, including Abenaki, which is spoken by the Indigenous inhabi-tants who call this place home. Just up the road in the Green Mountains, the annual Bread Loaf School of English and Writers Conference draws teachers and writers from all over the globe. Middleburys presence extends far beyond the east coast. On the other side of the American continent is the Middle-bury Institute of International Studies, its Graduate School in Monterey, California, and Middlebury is in places as far-flung as China, Russia, India, France, Morocco, Cameroon, Brazil there are a total of 32 Middlebury C.V. Starr Schools Abroad in 16 dif-ferent countries. It is from these diver...

A BOOK OF DISCOVERY"The History of the Worlds Exploration, From the Earliest Times to the Finding of the South Pole"A LITTLE OLD WORLDNo story is complete unless it begins at the very beginning. But where is the beginning? Where is the dawn of geographya"the knowledge of our earth? What was it like before the first explorers made their way into distant lands? Every day that passes we are gaining fresh knowledge of the dim and silent past.Every day men are patiently digging in the old heaps that were once the sites of busy cities, and, as a result of their unwearying toil, they are revealing to us the life-stories of those who dwelt therein; they are disclosing secrets writ on weather-worn stones and tablets, bricks and cylinders, never before even guessed at.Thus we read the wondrous story of ancient days, and breathlessly wonder what marvellous discovery will thrill us next.For the earliest account of the old world -a world made up apparently of a little land and a little water -we turn to an old papyrus, the oldest in existence, which tells us in familiar words, unsurpassed for their exquisite poetry and wondrous simplicity, of that great dateless time so full of mystery and awe."In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.... And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God ... divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament.... And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear.... And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas."Thus beautifully did the children of men express their earliest idea of the worlds distribution of land and water.

The objects in this book relate to a key period in polar exploration history, from the 1770s to the early 1930s. Today they are located worldwide, whether in polar regions, public spaces, museums and other repositories, or in private collections.Some objects were used by famous explorers, but more testify to important work by mariners, scientists, artists, photographers and filmmakers, or sometimes overlooked roles played by explorers relatives, sponsors and other supporters. They include: Mrs Elizabeth Cooks ditty box An innovative crows nest Francis Croziers penguin specimen An octant used in searches for John Franklin A scientists portable paintbox An expedition prospectus An Antarctic Baby biplane HMS Erebuss long-lost bellCollectively, the objects evidence a continuum of polar endeavour which, notwithstanding national ambitions and personal rivalries, reflect levels of international collaboration to which we should aspire when exploring or attempting to safeguard the increasingly fragile polar regions.

A very British love-letter to the beauty of flint Daily TelegraphJoanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember.It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available.It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies.In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary biogenic rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs.Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls an art project of the great divine.
