    Rowman & Littlefield Publishers 2002; US$ 84.99

    In the nineteenth century, Americans began to use maps in radically new ways.

  • The Changing Geography of Asiaby Kathleen M. Baker; Graham P. Chapman

    Taylor and Francis 2002; US$ 69.95

  • American Empireby Neil Smith

    University of California Press 2003; US$ 39.95

    An American Empire, constructed over the last century, long ago overtook European colonialism, and it has been widely assumed that the new globalism it espoused took us "beyond geography."
