Harper Collins Atlas of World History

by Geoffrey Barraclough

The HarperCollins Atlas of World History is an authoritative work of reference which presents the drama of world history in the arena of its action: the lands and seas of the world. It presents a visual narrative of world history from the earliest times to the present day. Planned for the general reader as well as the student, it is the work of over one-hundred professional historians. It contains over 600 maps and illustrations and over 150,000 words of text.

NEW YORK TIMES says: Not just maps but also blazingly vivid charts and diagrams which along with its detailed text serve to trace for the reader important aspects of history. How did we get along without this endlessly useful volume?

It's hard to compress even an overview of world history into a single volume, but this book does an excellent job. The excellent use of maps and color illustrate the text and provide a wealth of detail. A coffee-table book, but much more.
