De grote lijnen van de geschiedenis geborsteld en ge?llustreerd met meer dan 300 mooi gekleurde kaarten en tijdbalken. Typische cultuurvoorwerpen verluchten de bladzijden. De atlas overspant de periode tussen de oorsprong van onze wereld, 4 miljoen jaar geleden, en nu. Onmisbaar naslagwerk.' (Het Belang van Limburg)'De grote troef van deze atlas is de nadruk die werd gelegd op gelijktijdigheid. Wat gebeurde er in Mexico in de tijd dat het rijk van Karel de Grote uit elkaar viel? En hoe zag op dat ogenblik de Aziatische wereld eruit? Een uurtje bladeren in deze atlas is een les in relativering en bescheidenheid. Ja, het is zelfs wennen aan dit standpunt, dat afwijkt van het euro- en christocentrisme dat ons met de paplepel is opgedrongen.' (Telepro)'Een indrukwekkend panorama van alle aspecten van de wereldgeschiedenis.'

In meer dan 300 kaarten en even zoveel tijdbalken houdt de lezer-kijker in ??n boek de hele wereldgeschiedenis in de hand. Een meesterlijke synthese die naast de grote krachtlijnen ook oog heeft voor de smeu?ge, kleine details van ons verleden.

Volledig nieuwe editie van h?t basisboek voor geschiedenis.Luc de Vos, de eminente hoogleraar krijgsgeschiedenis en internationale relaties die nooit doceert zonder kaarten, begeleidde deze schitterende editie.
