Tübinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients, Komplettes Kartenwerk (Teil A+B)
The atlas, which is designed to the latest modern geographic standards and printed in full color, is divided into two major sections. Part A comprises general and specific geographic information and includes maps detailing the hydrography, geology, geomorphology, climate, vegetation, and fauna of the region, as well as information on population, settlement, economy, and transport. Part B is devoted to the historical development of the region, with a wide chronological range from the Palaeolithic to modern times. The maps incorporate major themes of recent scientific discussion.
The Tubinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients (TAVO) is an epochal bilingual (German/English) collection of geographical and historical maps and scholarly publications on the Middle East. It covers the area extending from Turkey through Iran to Afghanistan, Iraq and the Gulf states, Yemen and Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan, Egypt and the Sudan, occasionally incorporating Ethiopia and some of the Maghreb states. The atlas, which is designed to modern geographic standards and printed in full color, is divided into two major sections. Part A comprises general and specific geographic information and includes maps detailing the hydrography, geology, geomorphology, climate, vegetation, and fauna of the region, as well as information on population, settlement, economy, and transport. Part B is devoted to the historical development of the region, with a wide chronological range from the Palaeolithic to modern times. The maps incorporate major themes of recent scientific discussion. Problems with the Egyptian expansion into Nubia and the Sudan are illustrated, as well as the distribution of Old Akkadian trade colonies in Anatolia and the topography of the Kingdom of David. The Greek and Roman presence in the Middle East is illustrated in maps that not only minutely detail the conquests of Alexander the Great, but also conflicts between Greeks and Persians, Romans and Parthians, and Romans and Sassanids. In addition, there are many maps on the Arab conquest and the eventful history of the empires and dynasties under Muslim domination in Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, Iran and Afghanistan. Of course, any presentation of the region that gave rise to Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Zoroastrianism, and that to this day is fraught with religious tension and conflict, would be incomplete without maps detailing its religious history. Thus, there are maps on the expansion of the Byzantine empire, churches and dioceses in Asia Minor, as well as overviews of Islamic schools of law and the Jewish Diaspora.
