## Table of contents (inhoudsopgave)

On pages 2 through 9 (54th edition and 55th edition) of the Grote Bosatlas, the table of contents contains the names of all maps from the atlas, with the card numbers in front. To search in the table of contents is not the most appropriate form (goede manier), but you do have a good overview of all the information you can find in the atlas. If you look at the table of contents, you see that the atlas is made up of a number of parts (verschillende onderdelen):

* Maps, photos and satellite images; examples and explanations about the many types of maps in the atlas.
* Own area; examples of how you can look at your own environment very accurately (precies/exact) using all kinds of maps.
* The Netherlands; after the political and natural overview maps you will find three large regional maps. On these maps you will find almost all places in the Netherlands. Because they are soil use (bodengebruik) maps, you can also see how the landscape looks with the help of these maps. After these maps, the thematic maps follow, which give you information about other subjects.
* Europe; first you see the natural and political overview map. This is followed by the thematic maps and the general (overzichts) maps of different countries and regions.
* The continents and the earth; for every continent you will find a number of thematic maps. The general maps of the entire earth follow after the continents.
* Statistics; in one place you can not see how many people live in a place, province or country. In the tables of the statistics you will find the correct numbers and data about many other topics. In the brugklas we almost never use this part of the Atlas.

Note: It is not the intention (bedoeling) that you search in the atlas through the table of contents. You must do the search through the registers at the back of your atlas.
