Book reviews: Atlas of the Netherlands

This review examines the 1978 supplement to the Atlas of the Netherlands, issued to update outdated maps in the completed national atlas. Its five sheets address the planning-oriented assessment of natural environments, changes in marital fertility from 1959 to 1975, age structure and demographic dependency, religious affiliation, and municipal urbanization based on employment, commuting, population concentration, and housing indicators. The reviewer concludes that the supplement maintains the atlas’s established high standards in scientific cartography, explanatory text, and technical production, while noting that another supplement was planned for 1979.
