Atlas of Islamic History

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (15890 ratings)

Description:This Atlas provides the main outlines of Islamic history from the immediate pre-Islamic period until the end of 1920, that is, before most parts of the Muslim world became sovereign nation states.Each map is accompanied by a text that contextualises, explains, and expands upon the map, and are fully cross-referenced. All of the maps are in full colour: 18 of them are double-page spreads, and 25 are single page layouts. This is an atlas of "Islamic," not simply "Arab "or "Middle Eastern "history; hence it covers the entire Muslim world, including Spain, North, West and East Africa, the Indian sub-continent, Central Asia and South-East Asia. The maps are not static, in that they show transitions within the historical period to which they refer: for instance, the stages of the three contemporaneous Umayyad, Fatimid and Abbasid caliphates on Map 10, or the progress of the Mongol invasions and the formation of the various separate Mongol khanates between 1200 and 1300 on Map 21. Using the most up to date cartographic and innovative design techniques, the maps break new ground in illuminating the history of Islam.Brought right up to date with the addition of a Postscript detailing "The Islamic World since c.1900," a Chronology from 500 BCE to 2014, and additional endpaper maps illustrating "The Spread of Islam through the Ages "and "The Islamic World in the 21st Century," the "Atlas of Islamic History" is an essential reference work and an invaluable textbook for undergraduates studying Islamic history, as well as those with an interest in Asian History, Middle East History and World History more broadly."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
