The Hamlyn Historical AtlasHamlyn, 1981 - 176 páginas This text contains 102 pages of entirely new full-colour maps assembled by a team of experts. Particular attention has been paid to illustrating themes of cultural history, of the relationship between different civilisations, and of the growth of an overall world community. The non-Western world, especially Asia, receives full coverage and the contributors have taken care to concentrate on information of specific importance to the themes of each map - whether it be the routes of royal progresses in medieval Germany, or the spread of government-sponsored factories in 19th-century Japan - rather than on military activity or border changes. The maps are illuminated by a series of essay which draw together the ideas of various maps and open up new perspectives from historical geography. The result is a guide to world history that is essential reference and fascinating reading for everyone interested in history. |
