Summary

This text comprises three book reviews. The first reviews the 1978 supplementary volume of the National Atlas of the Netherlands, containing five map sheets covering natural landscape planning, fertility changes, population age structure and religious affiliation, and degree of urbanization, maintaining the atlas's consistently high scholarly and cartographic standards. The second introduces Walter Sperling's 'Geographiedidaktische Quellenkunde', a bibliography of approximately 5,000 annotated entries with a substantial introduction and indices, serving as an essential reference for geography education. The third reviews Klaus Schmidt's 'Erdgeschichte' (History of the Earth), third edition, expanded by 48 pages since its 1972 first edition, with updated figures and content reflecting recent advances in geological research.
