1959The reviewer notes that the first volume, Taiwan province, gives detailed place names in Chinese characters and romanization, with additional maps of geology, climate, soils, forest types, land use and transport. The review welcomes the atlas as a remedy for the inconvenience of lacking detailed maps after changes in Taiwan place names and readings, and it approves the inclusion of some old names alongside the current ones—for example Yushan/Xin Gaoshan, Xueshan/Ci Gaoshan, Zhongshan/Alishan and Ren'ai/Wushe—for comparison.
