Hammond Incorporated. (1992) Hammond advanced reference atlas: A complete social studies atlas in four parts, showing the geographical setting of the modern, medieval and ancient world Citation by Anton Caldwell ISBN-10: 0843760109 $26.41 Content/Scope: This atlas is a comparative piece, showing the world’s progression from ancient, to medieval then to modern times. The book was revised in 1992, so it does show post-USSR Europe. Accuracy/Authority: Hammond Inc. is a well-known, world-wide publisher of geographical reference texts, and, as the American edition was revised in 1992, most of the countries are up to date. Arrangement/Presentation: Visually satisfying, well-organized and chronologically ordered (in the given stages) Rationale: I chose this piece so students could see the world’s progression and humanities hunger for more land. It is also nice to get an historical view point, so to speak, if one is researching a certain point in history. Professional Review: www.worldcat.org, 1992
