Rand Mcnally Historical Atlas of the World Paperback – July 31, 2015

I've been reading various books about ancient history (the black plague, the first crusade, the life and times of vlad dracula, the vikings) and generally struggle with geography on a normal day. this is a great reference to track all these times.

Has many nice informative maps. Using it with Mystery of History. Works well.

Exactly what I wanted. Mine was 20-30 yrs. old so am enjoying this updated, enlarged edition. Did not find either the maps or print to be a problem. Use it to orient myself when reading history. Thank you.

This is a great historical atlas in a handy compact size. It is not a current atlas; if it were, it would not be titled "Historical Atlas" ... :)

These historical maps are great for referencing, especially when used in conjunction with history lessons. So A+ for content, but D for delivery...the book doesn't lay flat, the maps that are two pages are even more difficult to read with the stiff spine prohibiting you from using it as reference material...or barely being able to see it at all since it is too close to the centerfold. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this a spiral bound book, or even a hardcover that can lay flat. I will be taking this to my local office supply store and get it converted to spiral...in that format I will absolutely use it every day during our homeschool history lessons. Despite the terrible functionality of the book the content is worth it! It has been very difficult to find a decent compilation of historical maps. These are great, colorful, and informative. Just fix the format and it's easily a 10 star book!

What a fantastic historical Atlas. Detailed, well organized, well researched - I loved it!

excellent to have it nearby while reading history

This is perfect for use with homeschooling history!
