    Lake County Indiana Atlas
    (Department of Geography, Indiana University, 1971) Dull, Daniel F.
    This small thematic atlas of Lake County, Indiana, is, I believe, the first one of its kind. Its maps are designed to give their user a general overview of the historical and cultural development of this county. There are three types of cartographic products in this atlas: maps that were redrawn adaptations of existing maps, maps that were compiled by combining elements contained on two or more existing maps, and maps that were compiled from statistical sources. All major map and statistical data sources are listed in a separate section at the end of the atlas.

    An Atlas of Indiana
    (Department of Geography, Indiana University, 1970) Kingsbury, Robert
    This small thematic atlas of the state of Indiana is offered by the Department of Geography as a contribution to the University's Sesquicentennial celebration of 1970. It attempts to present a broad coverage of both natural conditions and human activities on a state-wide basis. Some 109 maps are presented in this atlas. While the majority are original maps which have not been published before, some of the maps have been printed previously. Included are some revised adaptations of maps which appeared originally in An Atlas of Southern Indiana, Occasional Publication No. 3, Department of Geography, Indiana University, 1966. (This atlas is now out-of-print). A few others are copies of existing maps prepared by the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce (U.S.), Geological Survey, Department of Interior (U.S.), and geological Survey, Department of Ntural Resources (Indiana). Complete explanation will be found under About the Cartography on pages 86-87, and a listing of major statistical and cartographic sources for all maps starts on page 88. A small atlas of this type necessarily includes only a small selected group of maps.Obviously, a large number of other maps could have been included or could have been substituted for those included here. The final map selection was based upon presenting subjects of the greatest potential interest to the widest possible audience. Only the user can say whether or not a wise selection of maps has been made. A relatively unique feature of this atlas is the inclusion of computer-generated cartography. A few maps were compiled by computer and then hand drafted, but most of the computer maps are presented just as produced by the printer. I am indebted to the personnel of the Research Computing Center, Indiana University and to Professor Jerome Clemens of the Department of Geography for their considerable assistance in this computercartography. Further explanation of these computer maps is included also under About the Cartography. Appreciation must be expressed to numerous other people for helping with the compilation of this atlas. Special thanks are due John M. Hollingsworth, Staff Cartographer,Department of Geography, who drafted the maps on pages 76-79, originally devised the computer maps on pages 24-27, and provided other valuable assistance in the production of this atlas. Phani Deka, a graduate student in geography, aided by preparing some of the map type. Several students in cartography courses prepared maps for this atlas. These contributors and the page numbers on which their maps appear: William P. Ciz * 80, 81, 82 Dan Dull * 65 (sweet corn) Joyce Fox * 70, 71, 72 (distribution maps only) Dan Graef * 65 (popcorn), 69 (tobacco) James F. Sanford * 7, 13, 18, 20, 21, 29, 41 Phillip R. Terman * 12, 16, 17, 22, 23, 30, 31 If this atlas proves of use, we would like to compile a revised edition once the statistical materials of the 1970 Census of Population become available. At that time, we want to correct any errors on the existing maps. Thus, all information on corrections needed as well as suggestions for map additions or deletions are solicited from users of this atlas. Robert C. Kingsbury Associate Professor of Geography March 1970

    An Atlas of the European Economic Community
    (Indiana University Department of Geography, 1964) Sawvell, Robert D.
    In May 1950, Robert Schuman, then the Foreign Minister of France proposed the establishment of a common market among the countries of Western Europe in coal, iron, and steel. The treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community came into effect a little over two years later, and its success encouraged the creation of the other communities, the Atomic Energy Community and the European Economic Community itself. The latter began to operate at the beginning of 1958 and extended to the whole field of international trade the principles which underlay the original common market in coal and steel.
