• Excellent Resource 15 May, 2007
I found this atlas to be an excellent resource for my college World Civilization Class. I would recommend it for anyone who has an interest in, or is a history student.

• Great Price/quality Value... 11 October, 2001
This historical atlas of the world, though limit, should be quite useful to me as an undergraduate history major. This atlas was brought to my attention by one of my teachers and i think she had been using it for a while. Relatively cheap compared to other products of this kind but offers more than you'd expect for its price.

• Good Teaching Resource 20 October, 2005
This inexpensive atlas has proven to be a useful teaching resource, given the typically meagre historical and geographical understanding of undergraduate college students. Although coverage is necessarily selective, it hits the major events of the past (wars, empires), and includes a good level of material on the world outside of the US.

• Much Improved, A Few Flaws 21 January, 2006
I had an edition of this atlas that was published in 1965, but was still on sale until recently. As an avid reader of history of all periods, I consulted this atlas quite frequently. The new 2005 edition is much welcome. Many of the maps are identical to those in the older edition, but much has been added. In general, the new edition is less Eurocentric, containing new maps of African, South American and Asian polities. A notable omission is any description of the breakup of the USSR. The map of WWII is not useful, and appears to have been put in as an afterthought. The map of the Vietnam War is good, but the Korean War map is very difficult to read. Very good new maps also include world distributions of languages, religions, income and literacy, as well as descriptions of political, military and econimic alliances. Overall, an excellent resource.
