Description
"There are many ways to tell a story. Textbooks offer narratives, crafted by an historian or a team of historians. Collections of primary sources present a mosaic of stories, often interspersed with pictures of artwork and other physical objects drawn from the past. Mapping the World takes advantage of the strength of maps to tell a different sort of story. The maps are divided into two groups: a) Reference maps that provide a brief outline of key events and developments in global history; b) blank outline maps and accompanying exercises that offer opportunities to explore the past in a hands-on fashion."--Provided by publisher.
