Rezensionen

This is an invaluable resource tool for specialists and an enjoyable, information packed work for general readers with an interest in American history. The maps illuminate often obscure aspects of our history that are rarely covered in general atlases. One can track everything from fertility rates on the western frontier to the ravages of Spanish influenza in 1918. The maps are generally in vibrant colors and are supplemented by lucid and sharply analytical text. In sum, this atlas provides a comprehensive look at the social, economic, and political forces that have shaped the American past and present. Jay Freeman
