The Penguin Atlas of Modern History by Colin Mcevedy
In The Penguin Atlas of Modern History, Colin McEvedy has compiled an absorbing source of reference to the major developments of modern history from 1483 to 1815. Nearly forty maps and a detailed commentary follow the voyages of Columbus, Magellan, and Cook, the ebb of power from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic seaboard, and the protracted European struggle for control of a vastly new money economy.
Colin McEvedy (1930-2005) was a psychiatrist, historian, and demographer. His many books included the Penguin atlases of African History, Ancient History, The Atlas of World Population History (written with Richard Jones), The Atlas of World History (written with Sarah McEvedy), Medieval History, and Modern History.
