The New Atlas of World History

4.7/5 ( ratings)

This is the first and only historical atlas to present global history combining state-of-the-art world maps with detailed illustrated timelines, giving an overview of history from six million years ago to the present.

Written by John Haywood, a highly experienced cartographic editor and author of several atlases of world history, it allows complete and instant comparability between different periods and regions of the world.

It shows, for example when modern humans first colonized different parts of the world; what was happening in China when Alexander the Great conquered Persia, and charts the global reach of the great religious faiths at the time of the European Revolution.

Covering the whole of human history with 55 specially commissioned world maps showing chronological events and cultural achievements in easy-to-read form, The New Atlas of World History is the most sophisticated and authoritative atlas for quick and clear reference.
