Book Reviews: Nasjonalatlas for Norge: Helse

Summary

This review discusses two academic works. The first, 'Nasjonalatlas for Norge: Helse' (National Atlas of Norway: Health), is the inaugural volume of the Norwegian national atlas series in a new portable school atlas format. It focuses on health, featuring 200 maps and extensive statistical data that illustrate regional variations in health status and service availability, pioneering medico-geographical atlases in Northern Europe. The second, 'European Tourism: Regions, Spaces and Restructuring', examines the interplay between tourism production and consumption and the reorganization of economic and social spaces in Europe, drawing on a research program funded by the European Science Foundation. It offers a comprehensive overview of tourism's historical and spatial development. Both works fill significant gaps in medical geography and tourism studies, respectively.
