This is the first historical atlas of a major region of the United
Kingdom. Its aim is to create and communicate the history of the
south-western peninsula of England-Cornwall, Devon and the Isles of
Scilly - from the beginnings of man's occupation to the present
day. The cartographic message projected by around 400 maps is
extended by a substantial text of about 250,000 words as well as
diagrams, contemporary prints and photographs. This is one of the
most substantial collaborative cartographic ventures undertaken in
the United Kingdom. There are more than fifty contributors, about
half of whom are drawn from within the University of Exeter, the
remainder being researchers at other universities who specialize on
topics relating to South-West England. The majority are
geographers, archaeologists and historians, but there are also
important contributions from political scientists, sociologists,
educationalists and the region's museums, library and archive
services. The pre-medieval content is organized chronologically but
thereafter the reconstruction of human occupation is structured
thematically
