A clear knowledge of one\u2019s own and one\u2019s enemy\u2019s territory allows leaders and rulers to strategise, plan and arrange resources around the land they strive to conquer or defend. On cartographical representations, obstacles can suddenly become obvious, as too can weak-points. In today\u2019s world of live-mapping, frequent updates on everything from traffic to changes in the travel network have also been utilised by the military. For this reason both Apple and Google recently disabled live-mapping updates in Ukraine, so that the feature would not aid the Russian invasion.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button href=\"https:\/\/crouchrarebooks.com\/zh-hans\/featured_items\/war-maps\/\" class=\"button primary is-shade is-is-large mb-0\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col post-item\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/crouchrarebooks.com\/zh-hans\/featured_items\/the-thames-frost-fairs\/\" class=\"plain\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-default box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:56%;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"812\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?resize=1020%2C812&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-original size-original wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?resize=503%2C400&amp;ssl=1 503w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?resize=1005%2C800&amp;ssl=1 1005w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?resize=768%2C611&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-left is-large\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-is-xxlarge \">The Thames Frost Fairs<\/h5>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"is-divider\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"from_the_blog_excerpt \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, Europe experienced several periods of cooling known as Little Ice Ages.

We talk of \u201cspread\u201d, \u201cdispersal\u201d and \u201cdistribution\u201d, of \u201cglobal\u201d pandemics, and, however inaccurately, \u201cThe Spanish Flu\u201d and the \u201cChina Virus\u201d. Indeed, \u201cThe Plague of Athens\u201d 430 BC is often cited as the earliest recorded epidemic (item 1). Our view of disease can appear decidedly geographic. The word \u201cpandemic\u201d, however, also has Greek origins, and comes from \u201cPan\u201d, meaning \u201call\u201d and \u201cDemos\u201d, meaning \u201cpeople\u201d. This points the finger in an altogether different direction. Whilst maps and data visualization can help us to track and understand disease, it is the actions of people that determine its cause, its dissemination, and its cure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button href=\"https:\/\/crouchrarebooks.com\/zh-hans\/featured_items\/contagious-cartography-a-panorama-of-pandemics-and-plagues\/\" class=\"button primary is-shade is-is-large mb-0\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col post-item\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/crouchrarebooks.com\/zh-hans\/featured_items\/heute-deutschland-morgen-die-welt\/\" class=\"plain\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-default box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:56%;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=960%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-original size-original wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=280%2C280&amp;ssl=1 280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-left is-large\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-is-xxlarge \">Heute Deutschland!

A clear knowledge of one\u2019s own and one\u2019s enemy\u2019s territory allows leaders and rulers to strategise, plan and arrange resources around the land they strive to conquer or defend. On cartographical representations, obstacles can suddenly become obvious, as too can weak-points. In today\u2019s world of live-mapping, frequent updates on everything from traffic to changes in the travel network have also been utilised by the military. For this reason both Apple and Google recently disabled live-mapping updates in Ukraine, so that the feature would not aid the Russian invasion.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button href=\"https:\/\/crouchrarebooks.com\/zh-hans\/featured_items\/war-maps\/\" class=\"button primary is-shade is-is-large mb-0\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col post-item\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/crouchrarebooks.com\/zh-hans\/featured_items\/the-thames-frost-fairs\/\" class=\"plain\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-default box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:56%;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"812\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?resize=1020%2C812&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-original size-original wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?resize=503%2C400&amp;ssl=1 503w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?resize=1005%2C800&amp;ssl=1 1005w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/thames-frost-fairs-1.jpg?resize=768%2C611&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-left is-large\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-is-xxlarge \">The Thames Frost Fairs<\/h5>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"is-divider\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"from_the_blog_excerpt \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, Europe experienced several periods of cooling known as Little Ice Ages.

We talk of \u201cspread\u201d, \u201cdispersal\u201d and \u201cdistribution\u201d, of \u201cglobal\u201d pandemics, and, however inaccurately, \u201cThe Spanish Flu\u201d and the \u201cChina Virus\u201d. Indeed, \u201cThe Plague of Athens\u201d 430 BC is often cited as the earliest recorded epidemic (item 1). Our view of disease can appear decidedly geographic. The word \u201cpandemic\u201d, however, also has Greek origins, and comes from \u201cPan\u201d, meaning \u201call\u201d and \u201cDemos\u201d, meaning \u201cpeople\u201d. This points the finger in an altogether different direction. Whilst maps and data visualization can help us to track and understand disease, it is the actions of people that determine its cause, its dissemination, and its cure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button href=\"https:\/\/crouchrarebooks.com\/zh-hans\/featured_items\/contagious-cartography-a-panorama-of-pandemics-and-plagues\/\" class=\"button primary is-shade is-is-large mb-0\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col post-item\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/crouchrarebooks.com\/zh-hans\/featured_items\/heute-deutschland-morgen-die-welt\/\" class=\"plain\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-default box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:56%;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=960%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-original size-original wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=280%2C280&amp;ssl=1 280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crouchrarebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/third-reich.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-left is-large\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-is-xxlarge \">Heute Deutschland!
