Book Overview: Based on the best-selling Cassell Atlas of World History, this new volume takes a slightly closer look than its parent volume at the history of the world between 1783 and the present day. Alongside 54 pages of superb colour maps and accompanying text are some 32 pages of encyclopedic entries, offering a detailed A-Z guide to the people, places and events that shaped the modern world. Each entry in the encyclopedic section has been meticulously researched by expert historians and is fully cross-referenced to the relevant maps. The maps themselves offer not only snapshot views of the world at particular moments in each era but also scrutinise closely the evolution of individual nations and societies. The result is a book that is not only fascinating to browse through but that is also ideal for reference and study.
