DOWNLOAD EBOOKToday we can walk into any well-stocked bookstore or library and find an array of historical atlases. The first thorough review of the source material, Historical Atlases traces how these collections of "maps for history"—maps whose sole purpose was to illustrate some historical moment or scene—came into being. Beginning in the sixteenth century, and continuing down to the late nineteenth, Walter Goffart discusses milestones in the origins of historical atlases as well as individual maps illustrating historical events in alternating, paired chapters. He focuses on maps of the medieval period because the development of maps for history hinged particularly on portrayals of this segment of the postclassical, "modern" past. Goffart concludes the book with a detailed catalogue of more than 700 historical maps and atlases produced from 1570 to 1870. Historical Atlases will immediately take its place as the single most important reference on its subject. Historians of cartography, medievalists, and anyone seriously interested in the role of maps in portraying history will find it invaluable.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Full of facts, interpretation, and explanation, The Harper Atlas of World History follows the history of mankind through the ages and through-out the world. From the appearance of prehistoric Homo habilis to the Middle Eastern wars of the late twentieth century, from the building of the first Egyptian pyramids to the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, the atlas traces the history of the world through individual cultures, political systems, and societies. Each double-page spread is devoted to a specific trend or event in world history, presented from four different viewpoints: Maps that depict a particular aspect of a society--including frontiers, conquests, natural resources, and geographic and demographic evolution--at a given moment ; Text that describes the patterns of an era or a society. A single entry includes everything from political evolution, population expansion, and prosperity to war, economic crises, and political, economic, and societal reform ; Chronology that indicates the important dates and events of the period under consideration ; Full-color illustrations portraying the art and architecture of the time, as well as photographs of the people, places, and events of the later eras."--book jacket.
