Književne obznane: Geograficzno-statystyczny atlas Polski
A. Gavazzi · 1921
This article contains two book reviews. The first reviews Romer's Geographico-statistical Atlas of Poland, second edition (1921): based on 1910 data and containing 34 maps covering topography, geology, climate, soil, population, religion, resources, and industry, printed by Freytag & Berndt in Vienna, with precise colors and fine technology; the reviewer considers it reliable and successful. The second reviews Lubosch's The Significance of Humanistic Education for the Natural Sciences (1920): the book emphasizes humanistic education's practical value in understanding scientific terminology and studying classical works, and further its theoretical value in preventing a one-sided scientific worldview.
Atlasy i mapy ogólne Polski: Geograficzno-statystyczny atlas Polski
St. Pawtowski · 1924
This article reviews two atlases of Poland edited by Eugeniusz Romer: the second edition of Geograficzno-statystyczny Atlas Polski (1921) and the first volume of Atlas Polski współczesnej (1923). It praises the innovative use of the isarithmic method to depict demographic and economic patterns and regards the atlases as a key to understanding the Polish question. The second edition added maps of administration and of Polish population distribution and replaced German explanations with English. The reviewer deems Weigner's geological map in the latter atlas the best of its kind, though it omits some features and its interpretation of Cretaceous strata may provoke debate.
Zur Geschichte der Nationalatlanten Polens
J. Rutkowski · 1996
This paper offers a historical review of Polish national atlases against the background of the latest project, the Atlas Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. It traces the development from early precursors such as Romer's geographical-statistical atlas (1916), through interwar statistical atlases, to later attempts that failed or were interrupted by censorship and data-access restrictions. The successful National Atlas of Poland, published in 1973–1978, was a comprehensive cartographic monograph comprising 127 plates, 634 maps, and 110 diagrams, and attracted broad public interest (46,000 subscriptions). Political and socioeconomic changes after 1989 eventually led to a new national atlas project, which is now about half completed. The account shows how national atlases both reflect and depend on political and institutional conditions.
