Homenaje a Francisco Vázquez Maure

Summary

The visible opening and closing materials belong to volume 118, issues 1–12 (1982), of the Boletín de la Real Sociedad Geográfica. They contain publication and society information, a contents list, and a catalogue of publications for sale. The opening gives subscription rates, membership conditions and fees, editorial and governing board lists, and details of joint publication with Spain’s Instituto Geográfico Nacional. The closing contents list covers thematic-map uniformity, place names on the national topographic map, the National Atlas of Spain and its new sheets, Spain’s physiographic characteristics, sixteenth- to eighteenth-century cartographic history, environmental maps, an assessment of the Atlas of El Escorial, and maps in relation to archaeology and human-resource inventories. The sales catalogue includes studies of Spanish ports, the society’s library catalogue, a dictionary of physical-geography terms, and records of its publications and activities covering 1921–1970. The supplied excerpts do not show the articles’ main texts, so their arguments, methods, and conclusions cannot be summarized.
