Beautiful hand-illustrated maps bring the story of human civilization up to
date, examining the world from 1800 to the present day. Circling the globe,
this atlas features amazing tales of trade, war, innovation, and conquest.
Each map focuses on a major region, exploring the conflicts, changes, and
social movements that took place during a specific period of time. The
subjects are arranged chronologically as the reader is guided through the
end of the Napoleonic era, the Industrial Revolution, the colonization of
Africa, World War I, the Great Depression in the United States, World War
II, the Cold War, and the modern conflicts and realignments of today. The
Kingfisher Atlas of the Modern World is the perfect pictorial representation
of the influence of recent history on the modern world.
