Munksg@årds atlas - verdenshistorie (1964)

ATLAS HISTÓRICO MUNDIAL

Una nueva fórmula para comprender
la Historia a través
de su desarrollo político,
social, económico, bélico y cultural.

Las claves de este desarrollo
se encuentran en todo momento
contrastadas con su marco geográfico
gracias a un abundante material
(mapas a todo color,
planos, diagramas, etc.)
que hace posible
la fácil síntesis de los datos
ordenados cronológicamente
en el texto.

La obra, original de Kinder y Hilgemann,
ha sido enriquecida con numerosas
ampliaciones relativas
a la historia de la
Península Ibérica
y del Continente Americano.

This is a fine little book, and despite it's small size, it comes packed with information. I sought it out after becoming fed up with all of my history texts having poor maps, or even no maps at all. The maps in this are clear and helpful, and the accompanying narrative, while *very* concise (we're talking centuries in a paragraph, at times), is also helpful. The narrative is macro history at its best, enough to give you a general idea of what was going on.

I'd recommend this for any history buff. ( )

An excellent reference for students of history. ( )
