L'Atlas de Trudaine. Pouvoirs, cartes et savoirs techniques au siècle des Lumières (2014-01-01 00:00:00+00:00)
Blond, Stéphane J. L. (Author)
Made in the eighteenth century, said the atlas Trudaine refers to more than three thousand manuscripts plans that include roads and bridges, the construction and management rested with the King of France. This work, following an administrative order, contains underlying issues and policy intentions as the saying "to govern is to anticipate" the card becomes a powerful projection means in the future, an essential tool for govern. Stéphane Blonde offers a reading of this exceptional source by registering at the crossroads of the administrative history, history of technical knowledge, geography and cartography. The many illustrations he offers the study are a feast for the eyes and mind. No need to be a specialist to understand the importance of this work to look at the atlas Trudaine is - somehow - to explore the territory past to understand the present territory.
