Book reviews: Atlas of Sweden

The review describes installment 20 of Atlas över Sverige, published in Stockholm in 1961, comprising three sheets in the population, culture, and science sections. The reviewer praises Swedish statistics but finds the diagrams of population change from 1721 to 1958 somewhat difficult to read. Dot maps show schools, archives, newspapers differentiated by circulation and political orientation, and public-library use. The treatment of offshore fisheries distinguishes locations by the number of professional fishermen and marks places where fishing declined after 1950; bar diagrams summarize each port's catches, fishermen, and boat numbers and power. Swedish and English texts supplement the maps.
