The state of Germany atlas

The state of Germany atlas:
In a series of colour maps and commentary this book provides an informative picture of Germany's people, society, work and welfare, economy and political system at the end of the twentieth century. Topics covered include: lifestyles, immigration, poverty and wealth, salaries, unemployment, social welfare, the economy, investment, elections and political parties, social movements and Europe. Most maps compare Germany with its partners in the European Union, and sometimes also with other major states such as the USA and Japan.

The maps and graphs also bring out clearly how the old western Länder and new, eastern Länder, while unified as a single federal republic, are still in the process of integration and assimilation.

The publication is very informative and attractively presented and is to be recommended.
