insightful investigation,

This review is from: The Spacious Word: Cartography, Literature, and Empire in Early Modern Spain (Hardcover)
The Spacious Word is an intelligently written scholarly work in which the author develops a thesis concerning the origins of our concept of space. Using etymology in the Romance languages as well as english, literature and documents from the Age of Discovery and earlier, and current studies in cartography, Padron carefully and throughly builds his argument. Few works covering this breadth of information are built from point of view and not a chronology that is essentially a listing of data. Padron has a vision of his subject and that makes Spacious Word a pleasurable read.
