Alpenatlas - Atlas des Alpes - Atlante delle Alpi - Atlas Alp - Mapping the Alps: Society - Economy - Environment

摘要

More detailed information is probably available about the Alps than about any other multinational mountain range on Earth. This book provides a remarkable summary of much of this information, derived primarily from the DIAMONT project, funded by the European Commission. The spatial scope of the atlas is the area to which the Alpine Convention applies (though not including Monaco, which is one of the parties), and it represents the latest stage toward an integrated monitoring and information system, first proposed in the 1990s as a key activity in support of the convention (Price 1999). As indicated by the title of the atlas, the text is written in four Alpine languages - German, French, Italian, and Slovenian - as well as English.
