Progressive Atlas of Western Civilization?

[Heretic Apostate]

Back in the day, I took a class of the History of the Development of Western Cities. One of the textbooks was a great atlas that showed the political boundaries throughout the middle ages. I loved that book, but then made the mistake of loaning it (along with several other great books) to someone who irresponsibly moved away without bothering to return them.

Now, I'm trying to rebuild my collection from that class. I managed to find the HUGE book that talks about western cities, starting from Pericles' Athens and working its way up to Berlin of the 1800s.

But I don't know how to find the atlas.

Can anyone help me find it?

Is that the title of the book (Progressive Atlas of Western Civilization)? Do you know anything else about it - publisher, editor, etc.?

These look like they might be copies:

At alibris

At abebooks

(Edited to note that these are only 29 pages long, which should make it pretty easy to determine if they're you're book or not.)

Since every ethnic group aways seems to feel that "their" empire/country's borders should be fixed at whatever the maximum expansion was during the course of history. I've always though it would be interesting to do a map that overlayed all those borders to see if there are any areas that aren't overlapped by 15-20 different borders.
