Reviews: Atlas Historico, Geografico, y de Paisajes Peruanos

Summary

This review assesses the *Atlas Histórico, Geográfico, y de Paisajes Peruanos* (1970), edited by Peñaherrera del Aguila. Compiled over seven years with wide academic collaboration, the atlas comprises five parts: historical cartography and archaeology, contemporary Peru (physical, economic, and social themes), the 24 departments with city plans, frontiers, and landscape photographs. The reviewer praises its accurate, detailed, and clearly presented maps, and notes that although the volume is bulky, its removable sheets enhance usability, making it an indispensable reference on Peru. He also recommends that economic and social-statistical maps be periodically updated by the planning institute to maintain their value.
