\"BookA book about the work of Emma Hart Willard<\/a> (1787-1870) is coming out this month from Visionary Press. The book, Emma Willard: Maps of History<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, includes an essay by Susan Schulten (who also edited the book) along with reproductions of Willard\u2019s maps, atlases and time charts (for example, the 1828 set of maps<\/a> that accompanied her History of the United States, or Republic of America<\/em>), which proved hugely influential in terms of using maps in pedagogy, as well as historical maps and graphical depictions of time. The book is part of a series, Information Graphic Visionaries<\/a>, that was the subject of a successful Kickstarter<\/a> last year. Outside of that crowdfunding campaign, the book can be ordered from the publisher<\/a> for $95 (it\u2019s on sale right now for $85). [Matthew Edney<\/a>]<\/p>\n
