Book Reviews: Atlas of Australian Resources

Summary

This review assesses the final five mapsheets of the Atlas of Australian Resources, covering geology, croplands, mineral and manufacturing industries, and immigration. It praises the geological map's detail and clarity, the croplands commentary's analytical quality, and the immigration map's statistical treatment, while noting minor flaws in symbol design and prose. Concluding that the completed atlas is the most comprehensive cartographic summary of Australia's resources yet published, the reviewer acknowledges its pioneering achievements despite small imperfections.
