Rezensionen - Comptes-rendus critiques: Atlas over Danmark, II: Befolkningen
E. Bührer · 1962
This review discusses the population volume of the Atlas over Danmark (1961) by Aage Aagesen. Centered on eleven 1:200,000 maps using red dots and circles to show the 1950 population distribution, it also includes generalized choropleth maps, changes since 1860, and employment structure. The clear text explains the maps and air photos, offering an instructive picture of Denmark's population. This volume is a valuable contribution to Danish geography and will positively inspire the Swiss national atlas.
Mapy a Atlasy: Atlas over Danmark II
O. Kudrnovská · 1963
This review examines the second volume of the Atlas of Denmark (Atlas over Danmark II), which employs dot and proportional circle symbols at a scale of 1:200,000 (with a 1:100,000 supplement for the capital region) to effectively visualize the distribution of rural and urban populations based on the 1950 census, achieving remarkable clarity through a three-color printing scheme. The atlas comprises a map volume and a text volume authored by Aagesen, who provides in-depth analysis of the structure, growth, geographical distribution, and occupational composition of the Danish population, as well as the relationship between population distribution and the geographical environment. The review also introduces the inaugural volume of the International Yearbook of Cartography (1961), detailing its editorial board, international scope, and key articles, alongside a discussion of new plastic relief maps of the Tatra Mountains (1:100,000) produced in Czechoslovakia, highlighting the advantages of three-dimensional terrain representation over conventional two-dimensional methods.
