THE GREAT ATLAS OF GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY
(Grande Atlante Geografico e Storico)

Time and space, history and geography. The enormous backdrop against which human events are played out is presented in a single collection of maps which chart the world's geo-political transformations, from the origins of mankind to the threshold of the new millennium. By focusing on the dimension of space and time, The Great Atlas of Geography and The Great Atlas of History enable the reader to follow the different stages in the formation and development of states and nations, right up to the present situation resulting from the collapse of the Soviet empire, the re-unification of Germany, and the break-up of the Yugoslav federation. This is a work of major importance, both individually and as an appendix to the Grande Dizionario Enciclopedico. Its value is further enhanced by the accuracy of the maps, guaranteed by the Cartography Department of the Touring Club Italiano.
