Historical Atlas of Central America. By Carolyn Hall and Héctor Pérez Brignoli. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2003. xiv + 321 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $99.95.

Because college history students have a notorious lack of geographic knowledge, historical atlases are a most welcome complement to the teaching process. Back in 1967, my university required two courses in "History of the Americas." Theodore R. Miller's graphic History of the Americas (J. Wiley, 1969) was helpful. Long after my university abandoned the Boltonian approach and went to traditional surveys, the Lombardi aid became available—Catheryn L. Lombardi, John V. Lombardi, with K. Lynn Stoner, Latin American History: a Teaching Atlas (Conference on Latin American History, 1984). Unfortunately, until 2003, no historical atlas of Central America existed and one was truly needed for serious students of the region.
