| Description |
This
bestselling atlas is an ideal introduction to the major events and
developments in Europe from 1815 to 2000. It now includes more than
fifty completely new and updated color maps complemented by accessible,
concise text. This revised edition also includes a new section covering
1980 to the dawn of the twenty-first century, with information on a
wide range of issues, from population growth to the conflict in the
former Yugoslavia.

| Review |
Its
conciseness, the entertaining nature of its narrative, and the lucidity
of its well-conceived maps make it a wonderful supplement for whatever
textbook you use for teaching and learning this subject matter. It can
be used effectively throughout the year to make the bewildering detail
of the successive epochs of European development more understandable by
its clear pinpointing of the strategic objectives the various European
states were aiming at. Its discussions are also so compact that they
make excellent reviews before tests and before the big exam at the end
of the year, especially. I can't recommend another work available in
this field more highly. |
