Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovakia, Moldavia, Latvia, the Ukraine - new states are emerging across Europe, changing the map of the continent more dramatically than at any time since the World War I. This atlas puts Europe's complete history into an accessible series of maps, each with a clear commentary. It explains not only how the Europe of today has been shaped but makes clear the forces that moulded the Europe of the past. The atlas unfolds the key moments in European political history step-by-step, from the emergence of the first Greek city-states 3,000 years ago to the new states formed in the wake of the break-up of the Soviet Union. A series of 46 full-page colour maps chart the crucial stages in Europe's evolution to create a dynamic picture of a continent in flux, revealing the ebb and flow of Europe's political development in unprecedented clarity. In addition, a series of almost 200 subsidiary maps highlight important events and processes to provide essential historical background.

Some journeys are meant to be adventures from the start; some begin inauspiciously and finish with a bang; some are groundbreaking and some show extraordinary triumphs in the face of adversity. Some travellers survive their journey and some do not. What makes these people risk their lives? Why do they put themselves in such danger? Divided into six chapters -- Air and Space, Ice and Snow, Wind and Water, Great Escapers, Imperialists and Adventurers, Survivors -- this book takes 60 extraordinary journeys from the past 100 years and recounts what happened to these intrepid travellers.
