Besprechungen: Atlas över Sverige

Summary

This review discusses five installments of the Swedish National Atlas (Atlas över Sverige) published between 1959 and 1961, comprising 15 double-page map sheets. The content covers the highest coastline in the Late Quaternary, population distribution and changes from 1805 to 1950, agriculture and forestry, as well as mining and industrial patterns. The review highlights the atlas's combination of absolute and relative cartographic methods, such as using area-proportional circles based on production value rather than employment figures alone, and commends the editorial practice of pairing Swedish explanatory texts with English summaries. The author anticipates the atlas's completion by 1963.
