Reviews

[Thomas Schulte]

Roughly chronological, regions of the world are investigated in turn. Different projections and layouts keep things interesting to read through as an overview of history. Generally dates are provided, sometimes not. So, Kingdom of Mali goes undated while it is interesting to see the empires of Central and South American comparatively presented on a single page.

[Tom Barnett]

This is a great little book with lots of maps from the dawn of history. It is the kind of book you can look at a thousand times and still find something new the next time you pick it up.

[Walt]

As far as historical atlases go, this is not bad; just very small and brief. Ideal for unhappy college students.

[Angela]

A good way to gain perspective in visual soundbites.

[Argin Gerigorian]

A very detailed atlas of the world.

Rushdoony said it is a must have, and he uses it frequently in his lectures.

Love it!
