{"product_id":"the-penguin-atlas-of-african-history-isbn-9780140513219","title":"The Penguin Atlas of African History","description":"This invaluable reference work provides an account of the development of African society from 175 million years ago, through the first appearance of humans to the complex polity of the twentieth century. Colin McEvedy tracks the development of modern man, the differentiation and spread of languages, the first crossings of the Sahara, the exploration of the Niger, and the search for the 'fountains of the Nile'. Gold and ivory lure traders from far away; Christendom and Islam compete for African attention. Names from the distant past become nation-states with aspirations appropriate to the modern world. With sixty maps and a clear, concise text, this synthesis is especially useful to African studies and history teachers, but is also a fascinating guide for the general reader.Introduction\u003cbr\u003e175 Million Years Ago\u003cbr\u003e50 Million Years Ago\u003cbr\u003e3 Million Years Ago\u003cbr\u003e2 Million Years Ago\u003cbr\u003e0.5 Million Years Ago\u003cbr\u003e40,000 BC\u003cbr\u003e8000 BC\u003cbr\u003e2750 BC\u003cbr\u003e1250 BC\u003cbr\u003e660 BC\u003cbr\u003e500 BC\u003cbr\u003e202 BC\u003cbr\u003eAD 1\u003cbr\u003eAD 200\u003cbr\u003eAD 200: Population\u003cbr\u003eAD 200: The Classical Geographer's View of Africa\u003cbr\u003eAD 500\u003cbr\u003eAD 650\u003cbr\u003eAD 750\u003cbr\u003eAD 900\u003cbr\u003eAD 975\u003cbr\u003eAD 1055\u003cbr\u003eAD 1100\u003cbr\u003eAD 1200\u003cbr\u003eAD 1300\u003cbr\u003eAD 1350\u003cbr\u003eAD 1350: The Medieval Geographer's View of Africa\u003cbr\u003eAD 1325-53: The Travels of Ibn Battuta\u003cbr\u003eAD 1400\u003cbr\u003eAD 1460\u003cbr\u003eAD 1475\u003cbr\u003eAD 1482-8: The Portuguese Voyages\u003cbr\u003eAD 1497-8: Vasco da Gama's Voyage to India\u003cbr\u003eAD 1540\u003cbr\u003eAD 1575\u003cbr\u003eAD 1600\u003cbr\u003eAD 1600: Population and Trade Routes\u003cbr\u003eAD 1660\u003cbr\u003eAD 1700\u003cbr\u003eAD 1750\u003cbr\u003eAD 1800\u003cbr\u003eAD 1800: Population\u003cbr\u003eAD 1800: The European Geographer's View of Africa\u003cbr\u003eAD 1830\u003cbr\u003eAD 1840\u003cbr\u003eAD 1856\u003cbr\u003eAD 1856: The European View of Africa\u003cbr\u003eAD 1860-73: European Exploration of the East African Lakes\u003cbr\u003eAD 1878\u003cbr\u003eAD 1885\u003cbr\u003eAD 1890\u003cbr\u003eAD 1900\u003cbr\u003eAD 1914\u003cbr\u003eAD 1925\u003cbr\u003eAD 1950\u003cbr\u003eAD 1960\u003cbr\u003eAD 1970\u003cbr\u003eAD 1980\u003cbr\u003eAD 1994\u003cbr\u003ePopulation in AD 1994\u003cbr\u003eIndexColin McEvedy is the author of The Penguin Atlas of Ancient History; The New Penguin Atlas of Medieval History; The Penguin Atlas of Recent History (Europe Since 1815) and The Penguin Atlas of North American History.
