Feb 16, Brian Griffith rated it really liked it Shelves: history-general. Great detail on all regions of the world. If you are writing anything on history, this atlas helps you connect emerging themes across cultures. Nov 04, Patrick Neylan rated it did not like it Shelves: history. Never mind its age - its final entry is "The World In " - this was always a rather poor offering.
