- Atlas of the Year 1000
- Atlas of the Year 1000 takes readers on a voyage of discovery around the world at the turn of the last millennium, when for the first time the world was in essence a unity, when peoples reached out to create links and put isolated cultures unwittingly in touch. John Man vividly captures the epochal events, and depicts the colorful peoples that defined the world's mix of stability and change, of isolation and contact. In an immensely learned portrayal, he traces enduring cultural strands that became part of the world as we know it today.
