This atlas provides a unique survey of the Arnhem-Nijmegen urban network. Its more than 100 maps cover not just the periodic football vendettas, but also cultural history, poetry, regional events, dialects and royalist associations. The atlas also provides practical information about such matters as the location of speed traps, where people live who read books, usable in-line skating routes and places where you can log in by wireless. The end result is a surprising collection of information about the region, some familiar, some unfamiliar. This makes the atlas not only a reference work, but more importantly a source of inspiration for new voyages of discovery and a new look at the region and the world.
