'Michael Shin and his colleagues have done us an essential and estimable service with this beautiful, fascinating and illuminating work. The illustrations are superb, and when accompanied by the authors' excellent commentary and analysis, Korean History in Maps becomes not just an invaluable book, but a keepsake. It opens new, sparkling and indelible images and windows on the entire Korean experience from (Old) Joseon to the present. The paucity of similar books, at least in English, makes this a milestone in the literature on Korean history.' Bruce Cumings, Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in History at the University of Chicago, and author of Korea's Place in the Sun: A Modern History
'A visual feast of Korean history and culture, Korean History in Maps is more than a cartographic journey, but a panoramic overview of the development of Korean civilization, full of lively images and helpful information. It will serve as a valuable reference source for classrooms at all levels.' Kyung Moon Hwang, University of Southern California
'This timely reference book is a great teaching tool ... [It] begins with overviews of society, economy, culture, and politics and a chronology of major events. It includes attractive full-color maps, tables, charts, and plates. Appendixes and supplementary illustrations include up-to-date and useful statistics ... the chronology includes compatible world history and political scenes during major events in Korean history. The book's sources are drawn from artifacts at the National Museum of Korea, the Kyujanggak Archives, [the] Dokdo Research Institute, the Seoul Museum of History, and the Library of Congress. Statistics are culled from the Bank of Korea and various academies in Korea and Europe. Photos of North Korea are from personal collections ... Any researcher or student - undergraduate or graduate - will benefit from this reference book. Summing up: essential.' S. Freedman, Choice
