The Atlantic Cities Maps. Handmade Diorama Maps Created Using Thousands of Printed Photos. What you see above is a “map” of Paris created by collaging thousands of photographs shot in the city. It’s just one of the amazing pieces in Japanese photographer Sohei Nishino‘s Diorama Map project. The series contains maps of many of the world’s most famous cities, and all of them are photographed and collaged by hand. To create each diorama map, Nishino visits a city and shoots thousands of photographs while walking around within them. His goal is to capture his personal memory of traveling around that city, and this stage often takes weeks — or even months. Hundreds of rolls of black-and-white film and tens of thousands of photographs later, he develops and prints the film himself in a personal darkroom, brings everything into his studio, and then begins to edit them. He selects thousands of photographs that are representative of what he would like to show, and then sets to work creating a collage.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. -- Collaborate.org wants to bring geospatial data to the masses, beyond where Google Earth has gone. The company, which launched Wednesday at the Future in Review conference here, is built around a geospatial visualizer, with more than 2 million data layers that can be overlaid on maps, and a broad set of collaboration tools. "We want to harness the collective knowledge of the online global community, sharing expertise and enthusiasm," said company CEO Kevin Montgomery. "We are providing worldwide geospatial infrastructure to empower people.
" Collaborate.org grew out of Intelesense, a company headed by Montgomery that provides monitoring products for wireless sensor networks and a spatial data exchange. Collaborate.org is built around World Wind, an open-source, spatial visualization platform developed by NASA. "World Wind is Google Earth, but you can do what you want with it," said Patrick Hogan, NASA World Wind project manager. U. Presses: Mapping Our Influence. Mapping Our Influence AAUP member presses have tremendous and positive impacts on the world around them—from regional publishing programs to world-reknowned disciplinary lists and translation projects. We often talk of this value of university presses, and our Mapping project now gives us the tools to visually demonstrate its truth.
The pins below illustrate AAUP membership across the US and worldwide. Presses with blue pins have created an Influence Map for University Press Week 2012.
