Civilization traced across the lines of latitude

Latitude provides the organizing frame for a broad survey of human history, climate and wildlife. Ten detailed maps range from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle, with topics including early civilizations, the spread of ideas, trade and travel, and the industrial revolution. The book also connects geography with the ways climate has shaped human life and wildlife has adapted, moving across regions from the equator to the poles. Its map-led structure brings these subjects together as a north-to-south view of the world’s past, present and future.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in maps and atlases
