Boyd, Andrew (Editor) - An Atlas of World Affairs (April 1998) Here are the people, factions, and events that have shaped the modern world from the Second World War to the present day. This 10th edition of the renowned ATLAS OF WORLD AFFAIRS has been thoroughly revised and updated to place international issues and conflicts in their most recent geographical contexts through the integration of over 100 maps. Carnes, Mark C., et al - Mapping America's Past : A Historical Atlas (January 1997) Mapping America’s Pastcovers all things American: atmospheric changes over 18,000 years, the arrival, heyday, and destruction of Native American communities, and the politics of expansion, segregation, and isolationism. Many moments of American history--from slavery to Jewish immigration, cholera to race riots, the birth of the working class to moon rockets--are attentively detailed. Especially impressive is the balance between formative events (such as the Civil War), lesser-known movements (American socialism between 1901 and 1920), and neighborhood vignettes (such as the making of black Harlem). Homberger, Eric and Alice Hudson (Illustrator) - The Historical Atlas of New York City : A Visual Celebration of Nearly 400 Years of New York City's History (May 1998) The Historical Atlas of New York City shows what can be achieved within a very narrow frame of discussion. With just one city to depict, Homberger explores the rich variety of details in the city's 400-year history with vivid drawings and illustrations as well as beautifully rendered maps. The atlas takes on the geologic history of New York, major eras (Indian, Dutch, and British), and the formative 19th century, as well as the consolidation of Greater New York, neighborhood histories of Coney Island and Greenwich Village, and the Big Apple exploits of 1945 through 1996. But there's room for the small stuff, too, such as the political and cultural role of New York's taverns in the late 1700s.

Morkot, Robert - The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Greece (January 1997) This well-illustrated volume is just the thing to have on hand while working your way through the pages of Xenophon, Herodotus, and Thucydides. Robert Morkot traces the growth of Greece from a series of often conflicting city-states, each with its own colonial outposts as far from home as Spain and Tunisia, to loosely knit alliances that waged huge conflicts against the Persian empire--and, as in the case of the Peloponnesian War, against each other. The pages devoted to Alexander the Great, which show how the Greek empire came to extend from southern Egypt to the gates of China are particularly interesting. Scarre, Christopher - The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Rome(September 1995) More than 15 centuries after its fall, the Roman Empire continues to profoundly influence world history. This atlas traces the empire's rise and fall, looking at its provinces and cities, trade and economy, armies and frontier defenses; charting its transformation into a Christian theocracy; and assessing its lasting impact.
