Summary

This is an academic book review of the *Nuevo Atlas de España*. The author first outlines the essential components of an atlas, including general maps, thematic maps (or cartograms), geographical and statistical data, and aerial photographs. The review then provides a detailed critique of the atlas's structure and content, covering its sections on historical, regional, and provincial geography, while pointing out specific errors such as omitted provinces in the 18th-century administrative map and a mislabeled geological legend. The author praises the atlas for its rich content, organization, and selection of photographs, concluding that it is a work of great value and utility, while also offering suggestions for improvement.
