4to, pp. 267. Hardcover with dust jacket. Illustrated with maps. Includes bibliographical references and index. Historical atlases offer an understanding of the past which is invaluable to historians, not only because they convey a previous age's sense of space and distance but also bcause they reveal what historians and educators of those periods thought important to include or omit. This book - the first comprehensive and wide-ranging account of the historical atlas - explores the role, development and nature of this important reference tool and discusses its impact on the presentation of the past. Fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
