Robert B. Kent · 1995
The review treats the 1985 Atlas de Bolivia as a large-format, 227-page national atlas produced by Bolivia's Instituto Geográfico Militar and published by Geomundo in Spain. Nearly two-thirds of the volume is introductory: earth and space, historical maps of Bolivia, and a 90-page departmental section pairing political maps with Landsat image mosaics, aerial photographs and landscape photographs. The remaining thematic section is largely map-only; it mixes natural-resource topics with colonization, agrarian reform, postal services, communications, hotel infrastructure and archaeological sites, and closes with population maps. Kent criticizes the absence of a general bibliography, precise map sources, a geographical index and a participant list, and says the atlas omits economic coverage, including agricultural and mining production, commerce, industry and services.
