A THOUSAND YEARS IN 4 MINUTES

a good natured wave of the hand to Theo.

This is the story of the Renaissance and every time the map changes in any tiny detail, history recorded it and blood was shed; patriots, traitors, family members, soldiers, draftees, servants and slaves. Thanks to one particular library, long ago, I used to own a complete copy of The Anchor Atlas of World History, and thanks to Amazon, I will again in a couple of days. Those two little books are a complete history of the world.*

Both arrived while I was in San Diego and both are in excellent condition. No home is complete without them. They are the history of the world in maps plus some.
