The Making of Eastern Europe
Description
The Making of Eastern Europe (1988) traces the historical geography of Eastern Europe from earliest times to the present times. It draws on indigenous sources which have not been widely studied in the West to provide a wealth of detail about the development of landscape, settlement patterns, towns, political units and economic behaviour and about their interrelationship. The frequency with which political boundaries and other patterns have changed in this area makes the picture that emerges very complex. The region has never achieved political unity and the author accounts for this in terms of internal political, geographical and cultural division and of the importance of external influences and forces at key historical moments.
