Korean History in Maps is a beautifully presented, full-color atlas covering all periods of Korean history from prehistoric times to the present day. It is the first atlas of its kind to be specifically designed for students in English-speaking countries. There is a map for each era in Korean history, showing every major kingdom or polity that existed on the Korean peninsula, and maps are also included for topics of additional historical interest, including each major war that took place. In addition, the atlas contains chronologies, lists of monarchs, and overviews of the politics, economy, society, and culture for each era which are complemented by numerous photos and full color images of artifacts, paintings, and architectural structures. This fascinating historical atlas is a complete reference work and unique teaching tool for all scholars and students of Korean and East Asian history.

Great Resource for Learning About Korea
This is a great book if you have a child who is interested in Korean history and who also enjoys more of a visual journey. Great resource.

Un aliado para el estudio de corea
Si estudias desde la arquitectura, al principio no es muy tentador, ya que son mapas y fechas….pero cuando tenía un conocimiento básico de corea este libro fue mi mejor aliado, me ayudó a ordenar todo el conocimiento y siempre aparecía algo que me asombraba. Lo recomiendo 100%

KOREAN HISTORY
This was great for the history and geography of Korea. It it at a college level and should be accompanied with another history of Korea to get the full picture of the history of Korea. The maps are good.

Not just maps - a must-have reference IMO
I absolutely love this book. If you are interested in Korean history I’d say it’s a must-have reference. Even if you’re only into historical dramas, you’ll find some useful information to put them into historical context. I use it all the time. There are lots of maps, but also things like the reigning kings with dates and descriptions of major events.
