4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for money, March 1, 2002

By 

German Mikuchauskas (Kaliningrad, Russia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Historical Atlas of the 20th Century (Hardcover)

First, disadvantages:
- too few maps and those available are with a small scale, so one can get only a rough idea about the changes on the word and especially European political maps within the century;
- the timeline doesn't contain the exact dates wherever it is possible (months, at best).

Meanwhile, all in all, due to the brilliant and concise annotation it is worth keeping for reference even by advanced students of this period. I also consider it good value for money

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview, October 11, 2001

This review is from: Historical Atlas of the 20th Century (Hardcover)

While these maps do not go into great and glorious detail, they do provide an excellent overview for students or lovers of 20th century history. Published in full color, therea are good keys, timelines for each map, brief explanations of historic events, world, regional and detail maps divided by era. An excellent value for the money, it should be in the library of any student taking 20th century history courses.

This review is from: Historical Atlas of the 20th Century, 1900-1999 (Hardcover)

This is a part of a 6 volume set by John Haywood. If you are a geography and history buff, this is for you. Wonderful detailed maps with timeline, rare and unique to Haywood. I have not seen a set this detailed and well researched. This is the history of the world in detailed maps in 6 volumes. I strongly recommend this unit and the whole set. The complete set is available at Amazon, just look for each volume and start from here. I have looked so hard to find this complete set and I have finally found all of them in Amazon and purchased them all.
