Product Description

This historical atlas covers the area from Poland, Lithuania and the eastern part of Germany to Greece and western Turkey - the geographical centre of the European continent - and extends in time from the early 5th century to the present day. This new edition incorporates the seismic political changes wrought since the revolutions of 1989. The final third of the volume has been completely rethought and redesigned: it features 21 new maps, 41 revised maps, 11 new chapters, and new statistical material covering 20th-century population changes, ethno-linguistic distribution, education, and Catholic and Orthodox churches. The bibliography has been similarly updated and expanded.

Customer Reviews

If interested on East - Central Europe`s History... This is a must buy
If you ever tried to follow a book`s explanations with the usual small and black-and-white maps provided, and longed for a better material to start with... This is your atlas.

The text is quite schematic and telegraphic. But this is not a history book. As an Atlas, and that`s what it is, is simply great. Full colour and size maps, very well printed, and clearly read. As a suport book to keep on with other book`s text is simply fantastic.

A book that I was needing years ago, and in my opinion a definitive buy in this area.

There is an older edition, that does not include as much moderns maops as this one (2002 edition). If I were you I would check the ISBN to make sure this is the one you are getting.
