A visual journey through the history of North America via a series of engaging, detailed maps, explaining key events and eras from prehistory to the 21st century. Specially created maps tell the story of this vast region: the first human populations and the lands of indigenous peoples; the complex ancient civilizations that arose in Mexico; the first Westerners to arrive on the shores, from the Vikings to the Mayflower; early settlements and the devastating consequences for the indigenous population; the stories of enslaved people and the abolition of slavery; the American Revolution and Civil War that shaped the modern United States; the Mexican-American War; the founding of Canada; and the industrial era and the growth of a global superpower. Brand new maps are accompanied by historic maps, documents, and artefacts, while timelines clearly lay out the chronology of events. Each era is introduced and explained, while features offer a closer look at selected moments. Whether for casual browsing or a deep dive into the past, History of North America Map by Map is essential reading for anyone who wants to know more about this fascinating land.

Book Description
Next to the Yast codex F1 (dating from 1591 C.E.), the Khorda Avesta and Yast codex E1 is the most important Yast manuscript. Written in Navsari in 1601 C.E. by the Sanjana priest Ervad Sapuhr Hosang Asa, E1 is the oldest and most valuable manuscript for the trans mission of the Khorda Avesta, which is not contained in F1. The manuscript E1 offers perhaps the best and most complete extant collection of the Khorda Avesta, including Gahs, Niyaye'es, Ya'ts, Nirangs, Bajs, Namazes, the Skt. Wahman Ya't, and many other, often little known texts. Moreover, E1 is of particular signicance from a text critical point of view because it has been corrected secunda manu according to a line of trans mission independent from and older than F1. This volume offers an Introduction with a detailed survey of the contents of E1. The main part consists of facsimiles of the entire manuscript, with headings and marginal notes identifying individual texts and paragraphs.
