Rezensionen: Atlas över Sverige

Summary

This article comprises four cartographic book reviews from Petermanns Geographische Mitteilungen (1967, No. 2). The first review introduces German guidelines for topographic mapping and cartographic design, commending the integration of theory with examples while noting insufficient generalization illustrations. The second extensively reviews the Swedish national atlas "Atlas över Sverige," planned in 26 installments covering physical, demographic, and economic themes at a main scale of 1:2,000,000, with exemplary explanatory texts and English summaries, hailed as a model of scientific cartography. The third evaluates land-use maps of Calabria, Italy at 1:200,000, praising their detailed legend classification and color design. The fourth reviews the new 1:5,000,000 map of Greenland by the Danish Geodetic Institute, noting updated administrative boundaries and settlements, though contour data require revision.
