Historical Atlas of East Central Europe

Hans B. Neumann teaches history at Scarborough College, University of
Toronto.

It’s a relatively safe bet that this historical atlas of East Central
Europe will for years to come be the standard English-language atlas of
this complex, turbulent region.

Eighty-nine full-color maps summarize the major historical developments
in this region from the early 5th century up to and including 1992
(making it one of the few atlases on the market to include the most
recent post–Cold War political changes in East Central Europe).
Executed by Geoffrey Matthews, arguably Canada’s most outstanding
cartographer, the maps are clear and concise. The accompanying text,
written by one of Canada’s most renowned historians of this region,
Paul Magocsi of the University of Toronto, is authoritative, thorough,
and culturally sensitive. Enhancing the volume are a 32-page index and a
chronology of major historical events in the region over the past 16
centuries.

A first-choice reference guide for students, journalists, scholars,
librarians, and general readers with an interest in East Central Europe.
