This wide-ranging dictionary contains a wealth of information on
all aspects of history, from prehistory right up to the present
day. Over 4,000 clear, concise entries include biographies of key
figures in world history (living and dead), separate entries for
every country in the world (summarising key historical events), and
in-depth entries on religious and political movements,
international organizations, and major conflicts and events and
their after-effects. For this new edition, existing entries have
been revised and updated to reflect the very latest global events
including changes in leadership, wars, political situations, and
the statistical information given for each country (population
counts, currency, languages, religions). New entries have been
included for key figures who have recently come to prominence and
world events. The book also contains twenty-five detailed maps
linked to key historical events and topics. These include the
African slave trade, the Black Death, and the Normandy campaign.
Also included are over 200 country maps. The dictionary is enhanced
by entry-level web links which are accessed via a dedicated
companion website. Encyclopedic in scope, this ambitious A to Z
provides an excellent overview of world history both for students
and anyone with an interest in the subject.
