""Maps Lost"" explores the fascinating history of cartographic errors and their profound impact on world history. It reveals how flawed maps have shaped exploration, fueled territorial disputes, and redefined our understanding of the world. The book highlights that maps are not objective truths but interpretations influenced by political agendas and the limitations of geographic knowledge at the time. For example, the persistent appearance of mythical islands on early maps of the Atlantic spurred many voyages of (fruitless) exploration. The book adopts a critical cartographic approach, challenging the notion of maps as purely objective tools. It emphasizes that maps are subjective constructions that reflect their creators' biases and historical contexts. ""Maps Lost"" progresses through a series of compelling case studies, examining specific maps and their unintended consequences. These include instances where miscalculations led to the search for the Northwest Passage and politicized mappings of contested territories. Ultimately, ""Maps Lost"" argues that cartographic errors, while often viewed as failures, have paradoxically driven exploration, discovery, and the expansion of geographic knowledge. It equips readers with the tools for cartographic literacy, encouraging them to critically analyze maps and understand their role in shaping our perception of the world.

Guide to Ethnohistorical Sources comprises Volumes 12 through 15 of the Handbook of Middle American Indians, published in cooperation with the Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University under the general editorship of Robert Wauchope (1909–1979). The Guide has been assembled under the volume editorship of the late Howard F. Cline, Director of the Hispanic Foundation in the Library of Congress, with Charles Gibson, John B. Glass, and H. B. Nicholson as associate volume editors. It covers geography and ethnogeography, especially the Relaciones Geográficas (Volume 12); sources in the European tradition: printed collections, secular and religious chroniclers, biobibliographies (Volume 13); sources in the native tradition: prose and pictorial materials, checklist of repositories, title and synonymy index, and annotated bibliography on native sources (Volumes 14 and 15). Volume 12, which is Part One of the Guide, contains the following: “Introduction: Reflections on Ethnohistory,” “Introductory Notes on Territorial Divisions of Middle America,” “Viceroyalty to Republics, 1786–1952: Historical Notes on the Evolution of Middle American Political Units,” “Ethnohistorical Regions of Middle America,” “The Relaciones Geográficas of the Spanish Indies, 1577–1648,” “A Census of the Relaciones Geográficas of New Spain, 1579–1616,” and “The Relaciones Geográficas of Spain, New Spain, and the Spanish Indies: An Annotated Bibliography,” all the foregoing by Howard F. Cline. In addition it includes: “Colonial New Spain, 1519–1786: Historical Notes on the Evolution of Minor Political Jurisdictions” by Peter Gerhard; “The Pinturas (Maps) of the Relaciones Geográficas, with a Catalog” by Donald Robertson; “The Relaciones Geográficas, 1579–1586: Native Languages” by H. R. Harvey; and “The Relaciones Geográficas of Mexico and Central America, 1740–1792” by Robert C. West. The Handbook of Middle American Indians was assembled and edited at the Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University with the assistance of grants from the National Science Foundation and under the sponsorship of the National Research Council Committee on Latin American Anthropology.
