A well-conceived, nicely executed historical atlas. The selection of maps is designed to illustrate subjects which are of interest and importance in themselves, but also to assist the reader to form a general view of human history as a whole. Accordingly, the text offers a series of essays on some of the larger themes and questions which provide a historical context for a particular group of maps. It's up-to-date to the end of 1994; but, of course, recent events call urgently for a newly updated edition. 9x12" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
