With 56 additional maps, The West: Encounters and Transformations, Second Edition, Atlas Edition, helps students with geography, one of the most difficult aspects of Western Civilization courses for many. Four-color and outline maps accompanied by review questions call on students to identify important geographical areas and think critically about the connection between geography and historical events. The maps are on perforated pages and are organized by chapter so that they can be easily assigned and collected. Here is a sample of the maps included: Greece and Greek Colonies of the World, ca. 431 BCE; The Expansion of Islam in the 7th and 8th Centuries; The Expansion of the Ottoman Empire; Europe under Absolute Monarchy, 1715; The Industrialization of Europe, 1850; The European Union in the Europe of 2003.
