Atlas of the Year 1000 is a fascinating and sumptuous account of the world around the turn of the first millennium. The atlas brings to life the diversity of human cultures, from hunter-gatherers to sophisticated city-dwellers, and the links between them. With Vikings newly arrived in America, Polynesians colonising New Zealand, Muslims trading from Europe to China, and Chinese and Indian civilisations meeting in south-east Asia, the world's cultures were unwittingly connected for the first time. This is an engrossing bird's-eye view of a pivotal moment in our history.
