Abstract
The Social Atlas of Europe, as the title suggests, takes on a job of mapping social issues in Europe using mainly cartograms. The book includes the European Union (EU) member and candidate countries as well as the European Economic Area (EEA) and the Schengen countries. The thematic coverage is as impressive as the geographic coverage: identity and culture, education, employment, industry and occupation, health, politics, economics, environment, social cohesion and policy; 21 different data sources are listed, among which EU-related official statistics appear to dominate, but the authors also make use of specific studies such as the European Values Survey1 or the very general ones such as the CIA World Factbook2, and occasionally Wikipedia or various newspapers and organizations.
《欧洲社会地图集》,顾名思义,主要使用地图来绘制欧洲的社会问题。该书包括欧盟(EU)成员国和候选国,以及欧洲经济区(EEA)和申根国家。专题报道与地理报道一样令人印象深刻:身份和文化、教育、就业、工业和职业、卫生、政治、经济、环境、社会凝聚力和政策;书中列出了21种不同的数据来源,其中与欧盟相关的官方统计数据似乎占主导地位,但作者也利用了欧洲价值观调查(European Values survey)等具体研究,或中情局世界概况(CIA World factbook)等非常普遍的研究,偶尔也利用维基百科(Wikipedia)或各种报纸和组织。
