ATLAS OF WORLD ART

Filled with the superb maps for which Oxford atlases are known, and with many entries written by the most highly regarded scholars in the field, this large-format atlas (10x13.5") will be a valuable resource for undergraduate and advanced high school students, and general readers. The atlas is carefully global in scope, with entries for each time period grouped into the geographic categories of the world. Each two-page entry features two or more maps, which, in addition to the usual details of topography and geography, present information such as ports and trade routes, regions for various types of art, production sites for different media, sources of raw materials, and major monuments. Each entry also includes color reproductions of two works of art from the period considered. Lengthy captions accompany each map and work of art. Though brief, the entries are authoritative, summarizing major political trends and describing art production.
