1935–1966The review praises the Atlas of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (1966), edited by Antonín Götz, as a carefully compiled and presented comprehensive national atlas. Its 58 two-page sections show the republic at 1:1,000,000, with detailed thematic mapping and coloring the reviewer describes as decisive but never garish. Some crop spreads contain 16 maps at 1:4,000,000, while diagrams show the shares of agriculture in state-owned, cooperative and private sectors. The reviewer highlights its substantial social coverage, including housing conditions documented through household equipment, floor space and electricity consumption.
