The MAP IT series features six public lectures. See: https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/dmh/.
Enchanting the Desert is a digital monograph based on a single historical document: a slideshow made by commercial photographer Henry G. Peabody between 1899-1930 at the Grand Canyon of Arizona. 
The project reconstructs Peabody’s slideshow in an interactive medium, allowing readers to place the slides in a greater geographical context. Using the established medium of the website application, Enchanting the Desert introduces a genre of scholarship: the born-digital interactive monograph. The medium allows for technical leaps impossible in a print publication. The genre takes advantage of these leaps by performing spatial narrative in an inventive new way.Nicholas Bauch is Geographer-in-Residence at the Spatial History Project at Stanford University. He is a cultural geographer whose work brings digital techniques to bear on the art of landscape interpretation. He is author of A Geography of Digestion (forthcoming, University of California Press), Enchanting the Desert (forthcoming, Stanford University Press), and a recent experimental kinetic sculpture he built called The Irreproducibility Machine. www.nicholasbauch.com
