Reviews: Atlas of spatial development. 2: Education

This review describes Bildung (Education, 1980), volume 2 of Atlas zur Raumentwicklung, covering eleven topics from primary schooling to research in the Federal Republic of Germany. Colour thematic maps, mostly at 1:3 million, are accompanied by concise text, statistics, and source references; some provide regional detail, and one spread covers Europe. The reviewer praises the cartographic execution, up-to-date statistics, and satisfactory treatment of change, recommending the volume to policymakers, planners, researchers, and teachers concerned with education or West German regional geography.
