Great Resource for Learning About Korea
This is a great book if you have a child who is interested in Korean history and who also enjoys more of a visual journey. Great resource.

Un aliado para el estudio de corea
Si estudias desde la arquitectura, al principio no es muy tentador, ya que son mapas y fechas….pero cuando tenía un conocimiento básico de corea este libro fue mi mejor aliado, me ayudó a ordenar todo el conocimiento y siempre aparecía algo que me asombraba. Lo recomiendo 100%

KOREAN HISTORY
This was great for the history and geography of Korea. It it at a college level and should be accompanied with another history of Korea to get the full picture of the history of Korea. The maps are good.

Not just maps - a must-have reference IMO
I absolutely love this book. If you are interested in Korean history I’d say it’s a must-have reference. Even if you’re only into historical dramas, you’ll find some useful information to put them into historical context. I use it all the time. There are lots of maps, but also things like the reigning kings with dates and descriptions of major events.
