With a total of more than 270 colour maps and some 200 illustrations and tables, this volume guides the reader through the history of mankind: from the first hominoids through the Greek city-states, from the Middle Ages through modern times up to the events following World II and to the current day. Up-to-date maps and lucid accompanying texts provide quickly accessible information on the economic, social and cultural background of human history. The atlas employs the proved and tested structure of the Große Ploetz, where everything is ordered according to historical epochs and divided into regional and thematic categories. It includes the colonization of Greece, the paths of the Vikings, the major expeditions as well as the 30-Year War, colonial trade routes, the world wars of the 20th century and the pending conflicts of the Middle East. The maps included on the DVD can be shown with a projector or on a computer monitor and are ideal for teaching situations.
Anyone wanting to obtain immediate and precise information on the geographical dimensions of world history will not be disappointed with the Große Ploetz Atlas – a modern navigation system through the world of old.
