Korea", which appeared in Vol. 2, Book 2 of The History of Cartography<br>
(Univ. of Chicago Press, 1994), has been published in Korean<br>
translation as a book (´ÜÇົ).<br>
<br>
Under the title <Çѱ¹ °íÁöµµÀÇ ¿ª»ç>, translated by Àå»óÈÆ, a research official at the Korean National Museum, and published by ÃâÆÇ»ç ¼Ò³ª¹«, it came out a<br>
couple of weeks ago and has been commented upon in the newspapers. This year is the 150th anniversary of Kim ChOngho's famous national map, the ´ëµ¿¿©Áöµµ, so it got a little extra attention. I cooperated with Mr. Jang during the translation process, and I think the result is very good.<br>
<br>
The Korean version is strikingly different from the original Univ. of Chicago publication, which had only six illustrations in color--and even those embarrassingly printed in two separate color sections grouped with maps from Japan and Southeast Asia. The great majority of the original 54 black-and-white illustrations appear in the Korean version in beautiful colors.<br>
<br>
The Korean version presents my entire English text in exactly the same order as I originally arranged it. But it has broken it into five distinct chapters, each decorated with a colorful detail from a Korean map. Some of the chapters are divided into sections. This all makes for a sharper and more orderly presentation. There is a great bibliography and a detailed index.<br>
<br>
All in all, it is a great pleasure to see such a beautiful Korean presentation of my original "article." The price is a very reasonable \35,000.<br>
