A History of Chile, 1808-2002 (Cambridge Latin American Studies)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521534844 | edition 2004 | PDF | 478 pages | 2,16 mb
'This is a most enjoyable book. The author's intentions are clearly set out in the preface where they state their aim to provide a general account of modern Chilean history and they have done so most successfully. The overriding tone of the book is one of immense affection and respect for Chile and its people, and there is an overwhelming sense that the authors enjoyed writing this book very much. Such sentiments are communicated to the wide range of readers to whom this book will appeal ... a rich history of Chilean political, economic and cultural life which is in no way diminished by being a 'basic narrative' rather than a complex interweaving of theory and empiricism which can frequently cloud an appreciation of history.'

Historical GIS: Technologies, Methodologies, and Scholarship (Cambridge Studies in Historical Geography)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521671701 | edition 2008 | PDF | 240 pages | 3,46 mb
Historical GIS is an emerging field that uses Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to research the geographies of the past. Ian Gregory and Paul Ell present the first study comprehensively to define this emerging field, exploring all aspects of using GIS in historical research. A GIS is a form of database in which every item of data is linked to a spatial location. This technology offers unparalleled opportunities to add insight and rejuvenate historical research through the ability to identify and use the geographical characteristics of data. Historical GIS introduces the basic concepts and tools underpinning GIS technology, describing and critically assessing the visualisation, analytical and e-science methodologies that it enables and examining key scholarship where GIS has been used to enhance research debates. The result is a clear agenda charting how GIS will develop as one of the most important approaches to scholarship in historical geography...
