Atlas der Donauländer · Version 1
1989This article is a collection of book reviews from Geoforum 14/73, covering four geographical works. The first review examines a study of West Indian education systems, praising its detailed statistical tables illustrating the uniqueness of each island's school system and emphasizing education's importance to parliamentary democracy. The second critiques a volume on Nigerian education, noting its academic approach but regretting the neglect of pre-colonial educational traditions and insufficient criticism of British colonial education's negative impacts. The third introduces the encyclopedia-style geographical work 'Meyer's Continents and Seas' (North America and three Europe volumes), acknowledging its rich material and excellent illustrations while pointing out weak cross-regional integration. The fourth reviews the Danube Countries Atlas (deliveries 2 and 3), commending its innovative cartographic methods for population and economic thematic maps, particularly the comparative value of urban development and industrial distribution maps.
