The author takes a multi-disciplinary approach, supplementing his study of political and social history with fields as disparate as geography, ecological change, ethnicity, language and literacy, religion, urbanisation, population etc. The physical layout of this work is one of its great strengths. The author achieves a good balance between text and maps, with each serving to support the other. The map format is most appealing. The maps are mulit-coloured, with the finest shades of difference and hence detail available in map form using the latest computer technology. The wealth of detail presented by a few maps on a single page is equal to prose which occupies many more pages. enourmus value A veritable mine of information, offering both facts and statistics, as well as the considered interpretation of a skilled scholarly author.
