Reviews: Atlas of Israel

Summary

This review describes the initial folders of the Atlas of Israel, published by the Israel Department of Surveys and Bialik Institute in 1956. The atlas uses a loose-leaf format allowing large folding maps, with sections covering cartography, physical geography, history, demography, economics, and education. Each sheet includes a scholarly essay and bibliography on the reverse. The publication is praised for its excellent production and comprehensive scope, although it is published only in Hebrew, limiting its accessibility to non-Hebrew readers. It promises to be a valuable resource for geographers familiar with Hebrew.
