Atlas of the peoples of the world

Summary

Roland Breton reviews Atlas Narodov Mira (Moscow, 1964), which primarily delineates peoples by language, supplemented by density maps, statistical tables by country for 1960, and an ethnolinguistic index. He praises its production quality and cartographic detail, notes weaker coverage of non-Soviet Europe, and identifies Russian-language presentation as a barrier to circulation, recommending supplementary translations.
