Besprechungen: Atlas över Sverige

Summary

This is a collection of three book reviews. The first reviews the Swedish National Atlas (Atlas över Sverige), focusing on its later fascicles published since 1963, covering topics such as relief, hydrology, agriculture, forestry, industry, shipping, and electoral geography, praising its fine cartography and rich content, while noting that 34 fascicles remain unfinished. The second reviews F.J. Monkhouse's 'Landscape from the air', which explains landforms through 52 oblique aerial photographs, primarily aimed at British students, though the print quality is criticized. The third briefly comments on Karl Thorn's study of non-alpine rock heaths in the Franconian Alb, involving plant communities and species distribution. Overall, these reviews reflect academic trends in geographical cartography, geomorphology, and plant ecology.
