Review of Türkiye Atlasi / Atlas of Turkey

Summary

This article comprises two book reviews in geography. The first review discusses a study on ice-marginal landforms in the Valais, Switzerland, noting that the formation period and mechanisms of ice-marginal terraces there differ from those in the Eastern Alps, possibly dating to the Gschnitz rather than the Schlern period, and highlights difficulties in reconstructing former glaciers. The second review evaluates the 'Atlas of Turkey', acknowledging its value as the first Turkish national atlas, detailing its contents, especially the climatic maps, while also pointing out shortcomings in thematic maps on vegetation and population, as well as outdated statistical data.
