Hammond Historical World Atlas
User Review:  - Bargain priced, but no text. Very basic.
First of all: this book is a bargain. At under ten bucks, you can get maps of world history to refer to. However, there are a few problems: (1) The book offers no text to explain history. So you really need to know the history yourself or have companion books to help; (2) the book emphasizes European state history, and shortchanges other nations, cultural changes, religious movements, migrations, slavery, technologies, etc. This is mostly a book of maps showing the changing territories of nations. //// I was hoping to assign this book to my college Geography students, but will not, nor do I have much use for it myself. I much prefer the other Hammond world historical atlas, even at the higher cost. Most of the new, larger world historical atlasses are superior, becuase they show that history is so much more than states. In sum, this book is a disappointment, useful to a very limited audience.
