Detailed maps are complemented by chronologies, lists of monarchs, and overviews of the political, economic, social and cultural systems for each era discussed. Assorted full-color images of artifacts, paintings, and architectural structures complete this unique reference work.Trade Review'Michael Shin and his colleagues have done us an essential and estimable service with this beautiful, fascinating and illuminating work.

It will serve as a valuable reference source for classrooms at all levels.' Kyung Moon Hwang, University of Southern California'This timely reference book is a great teaching tool … [It] begins with overviews of society, economy, culture, and politics and a chronology of major events. It includes attractive full-color maps, tables, charts, and plates. Appendixes and supplementary illustrations include up-to-date and useful statistics … the chronology includes compatible world history and political scenes during major events in Korean history. The book's sources are drawn from artifacts at the National Museum of Korea, the Kyujanggak Archives, [the] Dokdo Research Institute, the Seoul Museum of History, and the Library of Congress. Statistics are culled from the Bank of Korea and various academies in Korea and Europe. Photos of North Korea are from personal collections … Any researcher or student - undergraduate or graduate - will benefit from this reference book. Summing up: essential.' S.

Book SynopsisNational Geographic's flagship Atlas of the World, now in its 11th edition, provides authoritative maps of every country, ocean, and region of the world, as well as thematic maps and accompanying graphics showing important population, environmental, and economic patterns. Organized by continent and reflecting today's political boundaries and identities, this authoritative atlas is an indispensable reference for schools and libraries, as well as the latest resource for home browsing and study. A thematically organized opening section uses current data to visualize urgent concerns, such as Earth's last wild places, changing freshwater availability, human migration and refugee movement, and human rights conditions globally.

Its mammoth size allows you to appreciate the details in its dozens of maps — satellite maps, cultural maps and physical maps, all of them striking. The best one, “Life on a Warming Planet,” lays out where temperatures are rising (and by how much), where permafrost is melting, what nations emit the most carbon dioxide and which large cities are at high risk.” –The New York TImes
