The new edition of the atlas (first published as The Atlas of Apartheid) presents a comprehensive introduction and detailed analysis of the spatial impact of apartheid in South Africa. It covers the period of the National Party Government of 1948 to 1994, and emphasizes the changes and the continuing legacy this presents to South Africans at the start of the 21st century. The Atlas makes the unique contribution of presenting the policy and its impact in visual, spatial forms by including over 70 maps, a highly appropriate method considering that apartheid was about the control of space and specific places.
The CEB Bible Map Guide shows where the events of the Bible
happened. It includes the 21 CEB maps (produced by National

narrative that describes what is being shown and what chapters and

Sidebars, photographs, and timelines bring out interesting facts
about the lands of the Bible, featured in maps of Palestine, Egypt,
Canaan, Babylonia, the Persian empire, the Hellenistic kingdoms in
Daniel, the Roman Empire, Jerusalem, and Paul's journeys. An
exhaustive index makes it easy to locate the places mentioned in
the Bible.
230 pages with 71 total maps Locating original landowners in maps
has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family
Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners
(patent maps) in what is now Clark County, Missouri, gleaned from
the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers
much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two
additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map
showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical
city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you
locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name,
a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps
and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or
genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family
migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as
locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or
deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of
depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original
landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government
was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of
statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's Mapped in this book
(that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . . 3268 Parcels of Land
(with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the
relevant map) 36 Cemeteries plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers,
Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some
historical), etc. What YEARS are these maps for? Here are the
counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the
corresponding land patents were issued: DecadeParcel-count 1820s11
