History of the World Map by Map (DK History Map by Map)

Description:

Witness our incredible human story unfold - from the very first people in Africa to the collapse of Communism and beyond - exquisitely charted map by map.

Come on a journey through global history, told in more than 130 specially made maps that each offer a window on a key event. Step into the action and follow Ghengis Khan sweeping through China, Napoleon conquering Europe, or two world wars raging across the globe. See empires rise and fall - from the Egyptians and the Aztecs to the British Empire and the Soviet Union.

History of the World Map by Map also explains how elements of civilization, such as writing, printing, and tool-making, came into being and spread from one country to another. It tells of the rise of the world's great religions and of human endeavour such as the voyages of early explorers. It charts stories of adversity such as the abolition of slavery, and shows how people have always migrated for a better life, from the very first humans moving across Africa, to millions of 19th-century Europeans crossing the Atlantic in search of the American dream.

Journey into the past to discover:

- Maps which combine beautiful illustration with satellite relief data for unrivalled accuracy and detail
- Maps are overlaid with panels of text and information-rich graphics, for a deeper understanding of each episode
- Feature spreads offer a closer look at key people, developments, and turning points in history
- 80-page reference section contains a full-colour illustrated timeline of world events from prehistory to the present day
- Published in association with the Smithsonian Institution in the US

Endorsed by renowned broadcaster, historian, and author Peter Snow, this is an unmissable visual guide to ancient, medieval, and modern history in all corners of the world. This updated edition contains eight pages of brand new maps, and has been reviewed and updated for diversity and inclusion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Captivating World History with Excellent Timeline included

S. · 7 November 2018

This History is a close relative of the Dorling Kindersley History of the World Map by Map.Same production team, same Foreword by Peter Snow, same printing in Malaysia.The Smithsonian version also includes a 78-page Timeline which is totally engrossing in its own right.Hence the Read-it-Now pages are almost exactly the same, except for outside covers.Only Four stars because the Smithsonian sells for £35.50 (on Bolo) whereas the shorter D-K sells for £17 (on Bolo today, and on 4th November I was able to buy D-K version for only £10.99).So I set out the Smithsonian open at the Timeline, and read the matching articles in the D-K.

S. · 7 November 2024

I came across this at a physical bookstore while I was browsing but its size/weight made it impractical to buy at the time. It seemed like a great book and I thought it would be a good Christmas present for my children. Anyway, I got home and got onto Bolo and, incredibly, the book was marked 55% RRP off so I think the Universe was giving me a gift there. I saved $35... yay!

Love it and excellent to use with my students

Amazing book, thank you!

T. · 26 August 2025

Truly amazing book. It was a gift for a kid who loves both history and political geography, and this book is just a perfect blend of both. Got it more than a year ago, so I can confirm that it sticks... he probably memorized most if not all of the facts associated with different maps!
