Reviews: Atlas der donauländer

Summary

This is an academic review of the Atlas der Donauländer (Atlas of the Danube Lands), edited by the Austrian Institute of East and Southeast European Studies in Vienna under the chief editorship of Prof. Dr. Josef Breu. The atlas is planned to comprise approximately 50 map sheets issued in installments. The review details the atlas's three-part structure (physical geography, population, and economy/transport), its cartographic techniques (including scale, relief representation, and multilingual toponymy), and the administrative division map. The author considers the atlas to be of fundamental importance for regional geography of Southeast Europe and recommends that future installments include maps on ethnology, settlement geography, and historical geography to enhance its value as a reference work.
