Certainly solves the problem of having to read a map over someone’s shoulder on a crowded train (or resorting to wearing one on your tie). Passnet was a magnetic-stripe fare card in use in the Kanto region from 2000 to 2008: it’s since been replaced by the contactless Pasmo card. Source: Rob Ketcherside/Flickr

Originally composed in 932 AH / 1525 CE and dedicated to Sultan Süleyman I ("The Magnificent"), this great work by Piri Reis (d. 962 AH / 1555 CE) on navigation was later revised and expanded. The present manuscript, made mostly in the late 11th AH / 17th CE century, is based on the later expanded version with some 240 exquisitely executed maps and portolan charts. They include a world map (fol.41a) with the outline of the Americas, as well as coastlines (bays, capes, peninsulas), islands, mountains and cities of the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea. The work starts with the description of the coastline of Anatolia and the islands of the Aegean Sea, the Peloponnese peninsula and eastern and western coasts of the Adriatic Sea. It then proceeds to describe the western shores of Italy, southern France, Spain, North Africa, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, western Anatolia, various islands north of Crete, Sea of Marmara, Bosporus and the Black Sea. It ends with a map of the shores of the the Caspian Sea (fol.374a). See this manuscript page by page at the Walters Art Museum website: art.thewalters.org/viewwoa.aspx?id=19195
Even if I could be bothered to search for whatever map thread is the current one, I have so much stuff to post that I'd end up owning it anyway. So I've...

Gli stereotipi sull’immigrazione che tutti abbiamo in mente sono quegli etnici e quegli sugli stranieri. Ne conosciamo tanti, ripetuti a scuola e fuori. Non mancano gli studi sulla loro diffusione, sui modi con cui si annidano ovunque, anche in notizie di cronaca apparentemente neutrali, e sulla maniera migliore per metterli in discussione. Molti insegnanti sensibili posseggono,nel loro bagaglio professionale, un buon numero di strategie pedagogiche, più o meno efficaci. In questo scritto ci chiediamo in che modo la loro efficacia possa essere accresciuta. Oltre a questi “stereotipi del quotidiano”, a nostro avviso occorre tenere conto anche di stereotipi di un altro genere, che altrove abbiamo definito “colti”. Si tratta di strutture cognitive meno vistose e apparentemente inoffensive, perché sembrano logiche, perfettamente credibili, a volte hanno un aspetto scientifico, sembrano molto vicine alle scienze demografiche (le discipline che si occupano del popolamento della terra), ma hanno anche qualche sembianza sociologica, di economia e politica internazionale ecc. Con tali costrutti cognitivi, le strategie tipiche dell’intercultura non funzionano tanto bene. Per metterli in discussione, servono i ragionamenti freddi delle scienze sociali, in particolare della demografia: dati, modelli, fonti. Abbiamo raccolto e presentato i più importanti e diffusi, e costruito soluzioni didattiche per affrontarli in classe, in un contributo che apparirà prossimamente su “Novecento.org” (nel dossier sul Mediterraneo, frutto del lavoro della Summer School dell’Insmli, di Venezia2014). Qui li richiamiamo brevemente. Poi ci soffermeremo sul primo, perché – più degli altri –coinvolge il ragionamento storico e investe l’intero curricolo di storia.
