Organized in the same innovative manner as Colin McEvedy's other Penguin historical atlases, but presented in a new, larger, and more accessible format, The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Pacific features forty-nine double-page spreads, with text facing the maps, that provide overviews of crucial moments in the history of the Pacific and the lands around it, from the formation of the ocean some twenty-eight million years ago to the end of the twentieth century. The spreads show the movements of peoples along the Pacific Rim, the occupation of oceanic islands, the development of nations, and the rise and fall of empires within and around the huge Pacific basin. The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Pacific is an essential acquisition for schools, libraries, and students of Asian and American history.

PRAISE FOR DEREK HAYES'S PREVIOUS ATLASES: "A beautifully executed achievement."--Bloomsbury Review "The kind of volume that invites repeated viewings."--Seattle Times "A sure winner. . . . It's hard to imagine anyone who could resist getting happily lost on these glorious roads into our past."--Toronto Star "Derek Hayes works his way from the discovery and settlement of North America to the ever-evolving maps recording America's westward push and onward to the early maps of the automobile age."--William Grimes, New York Times "The maps show everything from how explorers conceived of the continent circa 1500 to the spread of the interstate highway system in the 1950s."--Business Week

A lovely small-trim edition of the award-winning Atlas of Remote Islands The Atlas of Remote Islands, Judith Schalansky’s beautiful and deeply personal account of the islands that have held a place in her heart throughout her lifelong love of cartography, has captured the imaginations of readers everywhere. Using historic events and scientific reports as a springboard, she creates a story around each island: fantastical, inscrutable stories, mixtures of fact and imagination that produce worlds for the reader to explore. Gorgeously illustrated and with new, vibrant colors for the Pocket edition, the atlas shows all fifty islands on the same scale, in order of the oceans they are found. Schalansky lures us to fifty remote destinations—from Tristan da Cunha to Clipperton Atoll, from Christmas Island to Easter Island—and proves that the most adventurous journeys still take place in the mind, with one finger pointing at a map.
