Review: Historical Atlas of the World

Historical Atlas of the World Historical Atlas of the World by Charles J. MacDonald
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Roughly chronological, regions of the world are investigated in turn. Different projections and layouts keep things interesting to read through as an overview of history. Generally dates are provided, sometimes not. So, Kingdom of Mali goes undated while it is interesting to see the empires of Central and South American comparatively presented on a single page.
