Recenzje: Atlas Polski
Adam Schmuck · 1957
This is an academic review of the third volume (Climate) of the Atlas of Poland, published in 1954. The author notes that while the atlas partially fills a gap in Polish climatological cartography, it does not fully meet practical needs. The atlas comprises six plates; the first two, scientifically compiled by E. Romer, employ his original dynamic method to depict pluviothermal characteristics of six seasons, precipitation patterns, and climatic gradients, offering a non-stereotypical alternative to static climatology. Subsequent plates present maps of air temperature, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and typical synoptic situations for odd months. The reviewer praises the atlas's rich content and careful graphic execution but points out inconsistencies in map scales and advocates for a more comprehensive atlas addressing socio-economic demands.
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.
