Pictorial paper wraps; bumping and creasing to edges and corners, mild to moderate shelf wear and soiling overall, some color loss along edges and spine. Binding tight, staple bound; pages mildly toned, otherwise unmarked. A compact thematic atlas of the USSR issued for the American school market by Denoyer-Geppert (from the London house of George Philip and Son), presenting the Soviet Union as it stood in the mid-1960s, near the height of the Cold War. The color maps trace Russian territorial growth from the 13th-century Moscow principality through the Tsarist expansions, the partitions of Poland, and the Soviet gains in the west after 1945, then map the contemporary state in detail: physical geography, climate, the political division into union republics, agriculture, industry, fuel and power, and the distribution of languages and ethnic groups. The Ukrainian SSR and the Ukraine-and-Caucasus industrial region are mapped both on their own and within the all-Union economic tables, with population and economic-development figures tabulated republic by republic. The cartography is dense and finely engraved, packing topography, drainage, railways, shipping routes, oil fields and pipelines, and historical sites onto each spread. A vivid Cold War teaching document and a detailed snapshot of Soviet geography and economy in 1965.
