'One of the most striking things about this work is its vast scope
and its multi-focused approach. 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. This work
represents a timely addition to the wealth of scholarly studies.' -
