    • A lot of content for a relatively low price
I like this book. It does many things well. For the price it provides excellent content Nevertheless, I wish it were more complete in certain key areas. In European and other world history, it leaves out cartographic and literary content with respect to some pivotal events which led to the development of the world as we live it today. Likewise, there are key omissions from Latin American, African, and Asian histories which have profound influence on our present world. I will refer to just a few following. On pages 166-7 it has a fine ecclesiastical map Europe near the beginning(1555) of the Christian reformational era, and it discusses on 169 the Thirty Years War ending in 1648, but it omits including a map of the settlements of the Treaty of Westphalia which ended that conflict. A 1648 map to compare to the one of 1555 would be very helpful. It has a decent coverage of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, but it fails again to indicate cartographically how the boundaries of the European political units of and the titles of noble lords of the units changed as a result of the wars and their aftermaths. Continuing, 200-1 has a map of South America at the time of the independence movement from Spain. But subsequent to this, we have nothing which illustrates the development of the boundaries of today's nation states, nor some of the events which led to the establishment of those borders. Leaping to the 20th Century, of course it covers the two world wars. It has considerable material on WW1, but what is missing is a more detail and clear cartographical and descriptive material on how the new nation states were born, and how the new borders of Germany were decided. Of course some of Germany's losses were simply imposed by the victors, but others were determined by plebiscite. I think this is important. The Austrian, Russian, and Turkish empires all lost land. How was this determined and how did the new political frontiers compare with the ethno-linguistic boundaries? (See for a good example the excellent map of Yugoslavia on pages 338-9) Also I think that the border settlements in Europe and Asia at the end of WW2 need a more thorough treatment, as well as a discussion again of political vs. ethnic boundaries and the large scale ethnic cleansing which went on in central and eastern Europe. There are other issues, but finally I wish there was some discussion and cartographic information around the partition of India in 1947. ... show more

    • Great gift book for History or Geography lovers! Heavy and packed with information
Yes, I knew I bought a "very good" used book as a gift for my son because it was in my daughter's price range. Yes, I knew he would love it, because the page they used to advertise it was a map of Austria, where he is currently teaching English. And yes, I knew he would be thrilled to see where the battles happened in the country, from the 30 Years War up until WW2. So if you've got a history/geography nut who is hard to buy for, this is the gift for them! However, the copy we got came with a deep scratch on the back cover. Not tragic, because I'm sure he'll be more interested in the inside, but the description did not indicate the depth (no pun intended) of the damage to the book. Not shelf wear, but a gauge. ... show more
