Library Journal Review

Data from decennial U.S. censuses prior to 2000 create a dramatic graphic portrait of a diverse and changing nation in this self-proclaimed "first comprehensive atlas of population and housing produced by the U.S. Census Bureau since the 1920s." It is also the first census for which households in Puerto Rico received the same questionnaire as those in the United States. Broader in scope than Mark T. Mattson's Atlas of the 1990 Census (Macmillan, 1992), this work uses scores of quantitative and qualitative choropleth, graduated-symbol, dot-location, dot-density, isoplethic, flow, and proportioned bar maps in full color and varying scales to explore "who we are," "where we come from," and "what we do" in 14 topical chapters, among them, "Population Distribution," "Race and Hispanic Origin," and "Education." National maps predominate, with detail provided for the largest metropolitan areas and largest cities. The national maps in larger scale indicate county boundaries for reference; a further series of reference maps helps identify the counties outlined in these larger maps. Notes and a glossary round out the text. BOTTOM LINE This extraordinary demographic resource is recommended for both general readers and informed lay readers. Libraries might also want to consider Cynthia A. Brewer and Trudy Suchan's Mapping Census 2000 (Esri, 2001) as a less comprehensive but nonetheless highly useful and affordable printed-format option.

CHOICE Review

This is the first comprehensive atlas published by the US Census Bureau since the early 20th century. It is divided into topical themes and chapters with simple and clean yet colorful maps, charts, and graphs that visually display demographic data from 1790 to 2000. The demographic data are arranged in such a way that readers can get a historical snapshot of the changes and fluctuations that have occurred over time. The maps in each chapter cover specific demographic data over certain time periods and are powerful and telling. For instance, one can see how much working in agricultural occupations changed between 1950 and 2000, and how dominant agricultural occupations were in the US in the 1950s compared to today. Each chapter offers a short, well-written synopsis of the demographic data covered and an explanation of how various changes have affected people today. Within each chapter, the largest metropolitan areas are defined and the data for those areas further enhanced. Overall, this is an excellent, valuable atlas that every library should own. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels. G. B. Gould University of Northern Iowa
