About the Book

History of the World Map by Map is a visually stunning and richly detailed reference book from DK, published in association with the Smithsonian Institution, offering readers a guided journey through the forces and movements across continents that have shaped our world. Combining 140 detailed maps with striking illustrations, high-quality photography, and informative timelines, the book brings history to life through storytelling maps rather than dense, text-heavy chapters alone.

The book takes readers on a chronological journey spanning Prehistory (7 million years ago to 3000 BCE), through the Ancient World (3000 BCE-500 CE), the Middle Ages (500-1450 CE), the Early Modern World (1450-1700), Revolution and Industry (1700-1850), Progress and Empire (1850-1914), and finally the Modern World (1914 to the present). Along the way, readers can explore maps covering pivotal moments such as the migration of early humans out of Africa, the Greco-Persian Wars, the Mongol conquests, medieval Europe's trade routes, and the rise of the Ottoman Empire. The book also explains how key elements of civilization, including writing, printing, and toolmaking, developed and spread across different regions, traces the rise of the world's major religions, follows the voyages of early explorers, charts stories of both adversity and progress such as the abolition of slavery, and illustrates the great waves of human migration throughout history, from the earliest movements across Africa to millions of nineteenth-century Europeans crossing the Atlantic in search of a new life. Endorsed by renowned broadcaster and historian Peter Snow, this is a comprehensive visual guide to ancient, medieval, and modern history spanning every corner of the globe.
