The Kingfisher Atlas of World History

History makes so much more sense when you can see it all laid out on a map. This wonderful atlas traces the history of man and womankind from 10,000 B.C. to the present and it includes ancient India, ancient China, ancient Australia in addition to Europe and North America. All of those tribes you have circling through your mind are neatly pinpointed on a map with information about religion, trade and wars succinctly woven between rivers and mountain ranges. Where were the first towns? How much territory did Ancient Greece cover? What did the Byzantine Empire look like on paper? How did the Reformation play out across Europe in the 1500's? As you turn the pages, you can watch the map shift and the various civilizations rise and fall. It's a great way to see the big picture. Nice index included. 194 pages Ages 7-99
