Besprechungen: Atlas geografic Republica Socialista România

Summary

This review examines the 1965 Atlas Geografic Republica Socialista România, which aimed to fill a significant gap in comprehensive geographic reference works for Romania. The atlas contains 109 map pages covering physical geography (geology, geomorphology, climate, hydrology, soils, vegetation) and human-economic geography (population, industry, agriculture, transport, administration). The review notes the atlas employs island maps with varied scales, but criticizes graphic design issues including inconsistent color schemes and limited comparability between some maps. Despite these shortcomings, as Romania's first comprehensive geographic atlas, it provides detailed and extensive geographic information about the country, making it a valuable reference for anyone studying this European nation.
