Summary

This is an abstract of three German book reviews. The first reviews the Atlas of the Netherlands (6th edition, 1969), covering topographic, climatic, urban-historical, dialect, and demographic maps, noting limitations in relative versus absolute representation. The second introduces Professor Jensch's 'Climate Globe,' a three-dimensional model illustrating global climate zones, wind systems, and pressure areas, highlighting its pedagogical value. The third evaluates the reproduction of the Schmettau Map of Pomerania (c. 1780), aimed at making rare historical cartographic sources accessible to scholars. All reviews emphasize cartographic quality and academic utility.
