Reviews of Books: Atlas Polski
J. J. Klawe · 1961
This review examines the Atlas of Poland, a four-folder publication issued in 1956 by the Central Office of Geodesy and Cartography in Warsaw. The atlas project began in November 1945 but underwent numerous editorial changes, resulting in only partial completion of the original scheme. Despite the poor paper quality, the cartographic work is highly satisfactory, with each map independently prepared by subject specialists at scales of 1:2M or smaller. The first folder presents early maps of Poland, a general map, soil, drift geology, geomorphology, and gravitation; the second covers orography, drainage basins, geobotany, vegetation, and zoogeography; the third addresses various climatic aspects; and the fourth includes Poland's location relative to Europe and the world, solid/tertiary/quaternary geology, meadows and pastures, and a notable map depicting macro-seasons determined by plant blossoming times, such as the hazel marking pre-spring between February 25 and April 1. The review notes this is a temporary atlas, as a new comprehensive Atlas of Poland is being prepared by the Institute of Geography of the Polish Academy of Sciences, planned to feature 454 maps on 120 sheets in Polish, English, and Russian.
Rezensionen: Atlas Polski
E. Neef · 1957
This article is a collection of academic reviews of the Atlas Polski and several maps of Poland, Portugal, Norway, and Sweden. The author provides detailed commentary on the content and value of geological, Quaternary, and geomorphological maps in the Atlas Polski, highlighting their presentation of recent findings in Polish tectonics and Ice Age research, while suggesting improvements such as letter symbols and international language explanations for better usability. Additionally, the reviews cover the characteristics, technical specifications, and cartographic quality of Poland's 1:600,000 administrative map, 1:700,000 geological and soil maps, Portugal's 1:25,000 military maps, Norway's Svalbard 1:100,000 topographic maps, and Sweden's 1:50,000 topographic maps. Overall, these maps reflect the advances in European cartography during the 1950s and serve as valuable references for geographical research.
Book Review and Introduction: Geomorphological Map of Poland
池田正友 · 1962
This review introduces the geomorphological map of Poland (Mapa Geomorfologiczna Polski, scale 1:2,000,000), published as part of the Atlas Polski (1953–1956). Compiled in response to national land survey needs, the map classifies terrain into 27 genetic types under two broad categories: accumulation and erosion. It highlights the sequential influence of Scandinavian glaciations (Mindel, Riss, Würm) on Poland's landforms. The article also discusses the application of large-scale geomorphological maps (1:25,000 and 1:50,000) in regional planning, referencing methodological works by Klimaszewski, and underscores the utility of such maps for understanding land conditions and supporting economic development.
