Atlas of World History

Atlas of World History by John Haywood. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781586630997.

The Atlas of World History, featuring 121 double-spread maps in full-color, is the first major world historical atlas developed in the last twenty years, and is also the first to display the history of the world with a thorough and consistent global perspective. Unlike its predecessors, which often tended to emphasize European and American history, this volume casts an eye to the social, religious, and political developments of civilizations on all the continents and at all periods in their history, making this atlas the most complete and all-encompassing volume available. Cross-referenced, with vastly detailed maps and legends, the Atlas of World History is the best and handiest reference to date on the record of human life on earth.
