Years ago I came across a book that was a series of maps w/ extensive notes.

Some of the maps illustrated the spread of copper-working, bronze-working, &, finally, iron-working, across NAfrica, Europe, & the MidEast.

Must've been some sort of contact going way, way back.

That would be Colin McEvedy's "Penguin Atlas of Ancient/Medieval/Modern History" series, no? My long-term dream would be to publish a similarly formatted (and similarly chatty) work on the History of Imperial Space.

Cheers,
