The Historical Atlas of Central Europe covers the area from Poland, Lithuania and the eastern part of Germany to Greece and western Turkey – the geographical centre of the European continent –
and extends in time from the early fifth century to the present day.
This new edition of the atlas, the subject of much critical acclaim on its first publication, incorporates the seismic political changes that have taken place since the revolutions of 1989. The final third of the volume has been completely rethought and redesigned, and features new maps, new text and new statistical tables. The bibliography has also been substantially updated and expanded.
Among the revised features are:
• Twenty-one new maps
• Forty-one revised maps
• Eleven maps of newly independent countries
• Eleven new chapters
• Eight new thematic maps covering twentieth-century population changes, ethnolinguistic distribution, education, and Catholic and Orthodox churches
