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.
