Szemle: Atlas nacional do Brasil

Summary

This document comprises three Hungarian-language book reviews of geographic publications from the 1960s. The first reviews the National Atlas of Brazil, discussing its five-chapter structure, map scales, color scheme, and layout, noting that while methods are not novel, they are well applied, with some uneven thematic distribution. The second reviews a French railway map, evaluating its symbology, relief representation, and handwritten lettering aesthetics, while noting the absence of a publication year. The third reviews a six-continent travel guide published by BOAC, covering its country-by-country information on geography, history, transport, and accommodation, but criticizing its sparse map content while praising its useful tabular appendices. All three reviews assess the works from professional cartographic and geographic information perspectives, reflecting contemporary standards in map and guidebook publishing.
