Geographical Reviews: The Atlas of Britain and Northern Ireland

Summary

This article reviews the *Atlas of Britain and Northern Ireland*, published by Clarendon Press in 1963. Although not officially compiled, the atlas effectively serves the function of a national atlas, comprehensively presenting the resource overview of mid-century Britain, covering geology, climate, vegetation, agriculture, industry, population, and transportation. The reviewer commends its innovative segmented symbols and dot-method statistics, clear design, and meticulous arrangement, while also noting that the binding hinders cross-page reading, the font size is too small, and educational, scientific, and cultural resources are omitted. Overall, it stands as a milestone in British thematic cartography.
