Originally published in 1978,A Historical Atlas of South Asiawas received with enormous critical acclaim, variously characterized as "a landmark" and "atour de force." This invaluable resource is welcomed back in a newly updated form, no longer depriving scholars of this outstanding achievement. The fruit of sixteen years of research, theAtlasconsists of over 650 beautifully rendered original maps, most in color, detailing the ethnographic, political, and cultural changes on the Subcontinent from prehistoric times to the present. The maps are supplemented by several hundred additional charts, tables, chronologies, photographs, and line drawings, arrayed side-by-side with the maps on 149 large photographic plates. Following and complementing the plates are some 150 pages of text, keyed to the maps, outlining the history of the region--from politics to religion--in formidable detail. For this second impression, Schwartzberg and his collaborators have contributed twenty pages of additional text and bibliography, bringing the volume up-to-date through the regional census of 1991. A bibliography of over six thousand sources, a comprehensive index, and five end-pocket inserts are included to make this a classic resource. A virtual encyclopedia of South Asian history, the republication of theAtlasoffers students of Asian history, geography, religion, anthropology, archaeology, and politics access to a book that has been sorely missed and unlikely to be superseded in the foreseeable future.

Presents the historical development of Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines--from the earliest times to the present, in 64 large color maps. The content and historical context of the maps is explicated in the thoroughly cross-referenced introductory matter. No attempt is made here to provide a comprehensive survey of South-East Asian history, but rather to provide background on the emergence, decline, and downfall of states and empires; territorial changes; border conflicts; expeditions; wars; and so forth. Access is via an index of personal names occurring in the text and an index of geographical names in the maps and text. The bibliography is arranged by geographical area. 9.5x12.5" Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
