Cet ouvrage explique les idées extraordinaires d’un homme qui a passé au crible des montagnes de connaissances accumulées à travers les âges, rejetant des croyances erronées et proposant, à lui seul, des avancées spectaculaires en mathématiques, mécanique et optique. À l’âge de 25 ans, de manière totalement autodidacte, Newton avait esquissé un système du monde. Les théories d’Einstein sont impensables sans la découverte du système fondateur de N…

How the Visual Is Spatial
Contemporary spatial history is founded on the potential for maps and other visualizations to show the historical constructedness of space, usually in broadly neo-Marxist terms, yet neo-Marxist geographical theory is famously critical of visual representation, especially mapping. At stake in this contradiction isn't just the relationship between digital enthusiasm and spatial theory (or the wider spatial turn), but the theoretical status of the v…

AHR Conversation
Since 2006, the AHR has published nine “Conversations,” each on a subject of interest to a wide range of historians.1 For each the process has been the same: the Editor convenes a group of scholars with an interest in the topic, who, via e-mail over the course of several months, conduct a conversation, which is then lightly edited and footnoted, finally appearing (with one exception) in the December issue. The goal has been to provide readers wit…
Zombie projects, negative networks, and multigenerational science
The International Map of the World was a hugely ambitious scheme to create standardized maps of the entire world. It was first proposed in 1891 and remained a going concern until 1986. Over the course of the project's official life, nearly every country in the world took part, and map sheets were published showing all but a few areas of the planet. But the project ended quite unceremoniously, repudiated by cartographers and mapping institutions a…
The Geography of Radionavigation and the Politics of Intangible Artifacts
During the middle of the twentieth century, radionavigation systems became an important part of the built environment. They created a durable, semi-permanent spatial framework for a wide variety of tasks-everything from intercontinental air travel to new forms of high-precision surveying. This article argues that these systems constructed a new kind of transnational geography, well before satellites, and that large-scale spatial integration follo…
