Author Notes
The Oxford Map Companion : One Hundred Sources in World History
Patricia Seed is Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine. She is the author of several books including American Pentimento: The Pursuit of Riches and the Invention of "Indians" (2001) and Ceremonies of Possession in Europe's Conquest of the New World, 1492-1640 (1995), In recent years, Seed has been intensively involved in research on old and new questions in cartography. She brings her skills in the use of digital imaging technologies (GIS and graphic design software) to the study - not only to reformulate the questions of the history of map making - but to offer historical and comparative scholarship new tools of analysis and new ways of representing the knowledge that it produces.
