Rezensionen - Comptes-rendus critiques: Atlas over Danmark, II: Befolkningen

Summary

This review discusses the second volume of the Danish National Atlas, dedicated to population, authored by Aage Aagesen and published in Copenhagen in 1961. The core of the volume consists of 11 maps at 1:200,000 scale, using red dots (representing 25 persons) and circles (for cities) to depict the population distribution of Denmark in 1950, supplemented by choropleth maps, changes since 1860, and employment structure. The clear text elaborates on the maps and aerial photographs, providing a highly instructive overview of the country's population structure. The reviewer concludes that this volume is a meritorious contribution to Danish geography and will serve as a positive impetus for the Swiss National Atlas.
