Reviews & Reception
Registro de mapas temáticos: Atlas de América Latina
L.M.C. Bernardes
The review presents the 1968 Russian-language Atlas of Latin America as an attractive, information-rich reference work comprising 56 color sheets, a Spanish-language supplement, five pages of reference data, and a Russian index. It outlines the volume’s progression from general and historical maps through physical geography, regional chorographic maps, and sections on population, industry, energy, agriculture, transportation, trade, and national economies. The reviewer particularly praises the geological, tectonic, soil, vegetation, and economic maps for their wealth of information, as well as the atlas’s cartographic execution. The volume is ultimately judged an excellent reference source, especially for teachers seeking a consistent overview of Latin American countries.Expand ↓
