The new cultural atlas of the Islamic World

The New Cultural Atlas of the Islamic World, edited by Sally MacEachern and published by Marshall Cavendish, is an indispensable geographic and historical reference book for understanding the global impact of Muslim civilization. Adapted from the classic work by historian Francis Robinson, this monograph uses an interdisciplinary approach that interweaves geography, archaeology, anthropology, and the arts to map the evolution of Islam over the centuries.

The core of the atlas lies in its rich and carefully curated visual component. Through detailed maps designed specifically for this edition, high-quality color photographs, and rigorous illustrations, the volume guides the reader from the origins of the faith in the Arabian Peninsula to its vast territorial and cultural expansion across different continents.

The work accessibly explores the fundamental pillars of Islamic religious life, including the Quran, mosque architecture, and the pilgrimage route to Mecca. Additionally, it analyzes the diversity of cultural and artistic expressions that flourished under the influence of this universal faith. This is an essential collector's and reference piece for students, researchers, and enthusiasts of cartography and the history of civilizations.
