Produced in collaboration with Dorling Kindersley, the leader in cartographic publishing, this updated 2nd edition of Prentice Hall's "Atlas of Western Civilization" applies the most modern and innovative map-making techniques to present global history in all of its complexity and diversity. It presents both a broad overview and a detailed examination of historical developments.

  • An integrated cartographic approach that allows readers to look at Western Civilization from a number of different perspectives: global, thematic, regional and chronological.
  • Two-page maps provide a comprehensive overview of world history at key intervals.
  • Introductions, focus questions, timelines and map annotations promote deeper examination of the interplay between geography and history.

New Features in the Second Edition

  • Enhanced Maps:  Every map has been improved by enhancing or refining the clarity of its presentation, or by removing extraneous or unnecessary information
  • Improved Introductions:  The introductions to many of the maps have been revised, simplified, or updated.
  • Revised Focus Questions:   Many of the Focus Questions have been rewritten so that they more directly ask students to relate conceptual problems to the map at hand.
  • New Section on Historical Maps:   A two-page section, entitled “About the Maps on the Front and Back Covers,” provides fascinating details and background context on five historical maps.
