About this title

Synopsis

A historical atlas about people and ideas. Its themes range from exploration, colonization, wars, and political movements to issues such as family and gender relations, ethnicity, class, education, religion, demography, and disease. Each of the 120 full-color double-page spreads considers a historical debate or theme in detail, supported by graphs and illustrations and bound together by an authoritative text.

Reviews

This is an invaluable resource tool for specialists and an enjoyable, information packed work for general readers with an interest in American history. The maps illuminate often obscure aspects of our history that are rarely covered in general atlases. One can track everything from fertility rates on the western frontier to the ravages of Spanish influenza in 1918. The maps are generally in vibrant colors and are supplemented by lucid and sharply analytical text. In sum, this atlas provides a comprehensive look at the social, economic, and political forces that have shaped the American past and present. Jay Freeman
