Historical Atlas of Central Europe

"There is nothing comparable to this book in any language and its usefulness to the profession and interested public is beyond any doubt. The work is destined to exert considerable and lasting influence on generations of scholars, experts, diplomats, and politicians." -- George Barany, University of Denver "The Historical Atlas of Central Europe is a marvellous work that deserves to be in every map library, history department, researchers office, or even ones coffee table. Considering the current events transpiring in this region of Europe, this atlas may well become one of the most used in any collection or classroom." -- James Boxall * <em>Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives Bulletin</em> * "A Superb reference tool for those interested in the region and as essential aid for those involved in teaching the history of East Central Europe." * <em>Journal of Refugee Studies</em> * "A valuable reference work for historians of Europe and a treasure house for the merely curious" * <em>Business Library Review</em> * "The Historical Atlas of Central Europe is a mammoth project, focusing on the history of a region underrepresented by Western historians for too long, while addressing a large public with excellent maps and coherent accompanying texts." -- Nikolaus Schobesberger * <em>Austrian History Yearbook</em> * "Although the Historical Atlas of Central Europe is attractive enough to grace a coffee table it will mainly be used for teaching in higher education. It is admirably suited for that purpose. The individual chapters stand alone very well, and will make fine background readings for seminars on many aspects of Central Europe, particularly its modern history. Anyone teaching on these subjects will find this volume to be an invaluable resource." -- Francis King, University of East Anglia * <em>European History Quarterly</em> * "The Historical Atlas of Central Europe is not only a very useful tool for research and (most of all) teaching, but also a very beautiful, very well-edited publication. And it is a very direct way to tell the history of this part of the continent with the help of short descriptions (mostly not longer than one to two pages), geographical maps, and statistics in sixty-one chapters." -- rpd von Klim, The Catholic University of America * <em>Hungarian Studies Review</em> * "Any reader of Paul Robert Magocsis cartographic works can only admire and commend the efforts and scholarship of the author and his teammates. The results of their work have already been helpful to an entire generation of students of Central Europe wishing to become acquainted with the region, and these new editions will undoubtedly help introduce the area to newcomers." -- Anton Kotenko, National Research University * <em>Harvard Ukrainian Studies Journal</em> * "Magocsis Atlas is an excellent visual-history enterprise and a great reference tool." -- Andriy Tyushka, College of Europe in Natolin * <em>East/West: Journal of Ukrainian Studies</em> *

Paul Robert Magocsi is a professor in the Departments of History and Political Science at the University of Toronto.
