Sprawozdania: Nowe atlasy poszczególnych krajów
Stanisław Pietkiewicz
The reviewer treats the atlas as an unfinished geographical and historical project organized into physical, “cultural landscape,” demographic, and political-historical sections, with economic matters given a secondary role. Six sheets had appeared, all at 1:3,000,000 and covering Germany together with extensive neighboring territories. The maps are praised for their content and execution, and the meticulous source lists—drawing at times on publications from thirteen or fourteen countries—are judged to give the atlas considerable reference value. The reviewer nevertheless criticizes its exclusively German nomenclature and postpones an overall assessment until more of the work is available.Expand ↓
