Titre : La projection papillon de Murphey Auteur : Rhoads Murphey (1919-2012) Date de création : Inconnue. J’ai trouvé cette image dans le livre de William Bunge, Theoretical Geography (1966), page 51, où elle est décrite comme « une projection radicalement interrompue, inventée par Rhoads Murphey du département de géographie de l’université de Washington ». On voit qu’elle est composée de huit octants réguliers, dessinés avec une projection azimutale équivalente centrée au milieu de chaque face, et (...)

Title: Murphey Butterfly Projection Author: Rhoads Murphey (1919-2012) Creation Date: Unknown. I found this image in William Bunge’s book Theoretical Geography (1966), page 51 — where it is described as a “radically interrupted projection (…) invented by Rhoads Murphey of the Department of Geography, University of Washington”. It appears to have eight regular octants, each projected with something that looks like an azimuthal equal-area face projection, and cut at the poles at about (...)

Cartographier la guerre nucléaire avec William Bunge - Alexandre Chollier - Visionscarto

Si l’actualité nucléaire ne nous laisse aucun répit, elle n’offre en revanche que peu de prise à la réflexion. La cartographie peut-elle être un outil pour prendre la mesure d’une menace aussi fondamentale pour la survie de l’humanité ?

Computing Space IV: William Bunge and The Philosophy of Maps
February 5, 2016 by John Hessler

Today’s post is the fourth of a series called,”Computing Space,” which highlights the lives and work of many of the mostly unknown cartographers, geographers, mathematicians, computer scientists, designers and architects who had a hand in the birth of today’s computer cartography, along with some of forgotten publications from the early years of GIS.

In the early years of the analytic and computational revolution in geography and cartography many of the then existing journals in the field resisted the publication of papers deemed too mathematical or computational, and so many small and short lived publications sprung up around various groups of mapmakers working to bring new technologies and techniques into the field. One such publication, whose famous yellow covers will be known to anyone who has explored the history of early computer cartography, is the “Discussion Paper” series published occasionally between 1963 and 1968 by the so-called Michigan Inter-University Community of Mathematical Geographers.
