Historical Atlas of Central Europe: From The Early Fifth Century to The Present

Description

This new edition incorporates the seismic political changes wrought since the revolutions of 1989. The final third of the volume has been completely rethought and redesigned: it features 21 new maps, 41 revised maps, 11 new chapters, and new statistical material covering 20th-century population changes, ethno-linguistic distribution, education, and Catholic and Orthodox churches. The bibliography has been similarly updated and expanded.
