Show more"In the Middle East, perhaps more than anywhere else, politics depends on geography. In the past, the Middle East's fluid natural boundaries, stretching from the low-lying desert plain into three continents, permitted unparalleled expansion of its native empires, and its importance as a crossroads between Africa, Europe, and the Far East increased in each century. Today, there are added factors of significance--primarily, a disproportionate and fabulous wealth in oil and the strategic value of Middle Eastern states, located directly below Soviet territory, but connected to the West through their commerce and, to some extent their past politics and present military alliances. Here is an atlas that provides a precise and cogent summary--in 58 maps and accompanying text--of the basic geographic, national, and cultural factors that distinguish this region today. The authors provide maps and commentary first on the Middle East as a whole--its climate, physical geography, agriculture, political divisions, economics, languages, and religions-- and on significant features ranging from the placement of oil pipelines and refineries to the sources and irrigation basin of the Nile River. They also survey the most important political and religious developments of the past: the expansion and decline of the Ottoman Empire; the spread of the religion of Islam; and imperial colonies, concession, and protectorates from Alexander to World War II. The second half of the atlas contains maps and text on the historical background, geography, economics, and current politics of every country of the Middle East." -- Publisher's description The Middle East as a geographic region.

Show moreThis is decorative and highly desirable antique map of Middle East by the Frederick de Wit. The map was published in Amsterdam 1675. Dating de Wit's map can be challenging as most of them do not include dates and the atlases were published over long periods of time. This is handsome map of the Middle East covers the regions from Turkey and Egypt to Afghanistan and the Arabian Peninsula Red Sea, Nile River, Cyprus, Asia Minor, the Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean, Armenia, the Caspian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. Unlike most many maps of the area a great amount of geographic information is shown throughout the Arabian Peninsula including the locations of cities towns rivers and mountain ranges, the source for the detail in this map can be attributed to Sanson's map of 1654 which is widely regarded as one of the largest scaled and best detailed maps of the region until the mid-seventeenth century.
