Historical atlas of northeast Asia, 1590-2010
Four hundred years ago, indigenous peoples occupied the vast region that today encompasses Korea, Manchuria, the Mongolian Plateau, and Eastern Siberia. Over time, these populations struggled to maintain autonomy as Russia, China, and Japan sought hegemony over the region. Especially from the turn of the twentieth century onward, indigenous peoples pursued self-determination in a number of ways, and new states, many of them now largely forgotten, rose and fell as great power imperialism, indigenous nationalism, and modern ideologies competed for dominance. This atlas tracks the political configuration of Northeast Asia in ten-year segments from 1590 to 1890, in five-year segments from 1890 to 1960, and in ten-year segments from 1960 to 2010, delineating the distinct history and importance of the region. The text follows the rise and fall of the Qing dynasty in China, founded by the semi-nomadic Manchus; the Russian colonization of Siberia; the growth of Japanese influence; the movements of peoples, armies, and borders; and political, social, and economic developments—reflecting the turbulence of the land that was once the world's \"cradle of conflict.\" Compiled from detailed research in English, Chinese, Japanese, French, Dutch, German, Mongolian, and Russian sources, the Historical Atlas of Northeast Asia incorporates information made public with the fall of the Soviet Union and includes fifty-five specially drawn maps, as well as twenty historical maps contrasting local and outsider perspectives. Four introductory maps survey the region's diverse topography, climate, vegetation, and ethnicity.

The Routledge Atlas of the Arab–Israeli Conflict
A Powerful Visual History of the Arab–Israeli Conflict
‘Because the cartographic format of the book is so straightforward, readers of any level of sophistication or interest can benefit. An excellent primer.’
Library Journal
‘Each map includes precise explanatory data. A basic appendage to any analysis of Middle East history and politics.’
Middle East Review
‘This is a very thorough history. The great advantage of presenting history through maps is the unusual clarity it brings to the most complex issues. I would recommend that anyone troubled by the conflicting claims of both sides in this bitter struggle study the book closely. Just look and you’ll learn a lot, without polemics or manifestos to confuse the issue.’
Jerusalem Post Magazine
The Routledge Atlas of the Arab–Israeli Conflict traces the tangled and sometimes bitter history of the Arab–Jewish struggle from the early twentieth century to the present. It also illustrates the current moves towards finding peace, and the efforts to bring the conflict to an end through negotiation and agreed boundaries. In 227 maps, the evolving history of the conflict is graphically portrayed, including:
The prelude and background to the conflict – from the presence of Jews in Palestine before the Arab conquest to the attitude of Britain to the Arabs and Jews since 1915
The Jewish national home – from the early Jewish settlements and the Zionist plan for Palestine in 1919 to the involvement of the Arab world from 1945 to the present day
The intensification of the conflict – from the Arab response to the United Nations partition plan of November 1947 to the declaration of Israeli independence in May 1948
The State of Israel – from the Israeli War of Independence and the Suez and Six Day Wars to the October War (the Yom Kippur War), the first and second Intifadas, the suicide-bomb campaign, the Israel–Hezbollah War of 2006, Operation Cast Lead against the Gaza Strip in 2009, the Gaza Flotilla of 2010 and Nakba Day 2011
The moves to find peace – from the first and second Camp David talks and the death of Yasser Arafat to the continuing search for peace, including the Annapolis Conference, 2007, the work of the Quartet Emissary Tony Blair, 2007–2011, and the ongoing Palestinian search for statehood.
