Plot

Hardcover reprint edition (of a work originally published under the title: British History Atlas, in Great Britain in 1968), Dorset Press, NY, 118 pages. This is one in a most impressive series of volumes containing over 100 readable b&w maps, designed by cartographer, Arthur Banks. In this particular case, we have British history from 50 BC to the present, with specific maps detailing key moments, battles, and much more, throughout the pages. The well drawn maps include "social, religious and economic development, as well as major wars, expansions, alliances, and growth of such concepts as trade, transportation, agriculture and industry." Really well done title.

Notes

This atlas charts the expansive history of Britain, from the days of the Celts and the Roman Conquest to the present, offering authoritative coverage of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, as well as the rise and decline of the overseas empire. In 120 maps the great milestones of British
history, such as Crecy and Hastings, Blenheim and Waterloo, and Passchendale and Dunkirk are covered, in addition to important social, economic, political and religious perspectives throughout centuries of history. A series of fascinating new maps explore Britain in the 1990s: the economy, the
environment, immigration into Britain, the prospect of union with the European Economic Community, the conflict in Iraq, and recent intervention in Bosnia.
