Outline Maps

An Outline Atlas of the World Available in paper in the library.

This atlas provides historical outline maps and accompanying text documenting the progression of civilization from through the late 1940's. Initially this volume divides the world into 3 segments: China, India, and Europe/mediterranean. These distinctions are diminished as the subject matter progresses chronilogically to outline Greek conquest under Alexander the Great and the later rise of Rome. In addition to historical and political developments information is also provided on religion, trade and the economy, education, and urbanization. Although leaning to the west in its emphasis, this atlas provides information not commonly found in other atlases. Also listed under Historical Maps.
