Many Dutch painters of the period are believed to have employed systems of remote sensing for their paintings. For his well-known historical battle scenes, for instance, Pieter Snayers would have required an understanding of both ballistics and geography. Bringing these and many other insights together with more than 350 large-format illustrations, \u003ci\u003eMapping Spaces\u003c\/i\u003e presents readers with past exchanges of knowledge that surprisingly anticipate the techniques of mapping used today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106432565488,"sku":"2940177304700","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940177304700_p0.jpg?v=1763596838","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940177304700","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
