ATLASES

Hammond the Times Concise Atlas of World History (4th Ed.); Geoffrey Barraclough;
The Times Atlas of World History; Geoffrey Barraclough, Geoffrey Parker; Hardcover
If you're only going to get one history reference book, THIS IS IT! I'd highly recommend the hardcover version, since you're going to use this book often. My copy always has post -it notes scattered throughout, and you can't pick this book up without finding something new. The maps are excellent and innovative, with an excellent index. Besides using this volume for my researches for Chronos: Windows in TIme, I keep it handy when reading historical novels or other works of history. Invariably it can illustrate and expand on those other books. This is the best single volume reference atlas I own.

Other outstanding atlases covering specific time periods:

• West Point Atlas of American Wars

• Atlas of the Napoleonic Wars

• The Cambridge Illustrated Atlas of Warfare : The Middle Ages, 768-1487

• The Cambridge Illustrated Atlas of Warfare : Renaissance to Revolution, 1492-1792
• War in the Holy Land
