About this Atlas What is the purpose of а paper atlas iп the эgе of the internet When it's possibIe to find reliabIe information оп even the smallest hamlet with just а few keystrokes. how could а static set of printed pages Ье апуthiпg but limitiпg This atlas offers two answers to this question. The first is а simple fact of resolution: high..quality рriпtiпg оп large pieces of paper сап show at а single glance much more iпfоrmаtiоп than еvеп the most advanced computer mопitоr. Мапу paper atlases fail to take advantage of the high rеsоlutiоп of paper; this atlas maximizes the amount of useful information оп each page. After all. it is only through а great abundance of data that it becomes possibIe to get а reliabIe general impression. Second, а paper atlas is better for presenting а particular cartographic point of view. Regardless of the amount of information availabIe at our fingertips, по тар сап ever show а final authoritative view of the world. not еУеП of the purely physical world of geographic features and the built епvirопmепt. Through the соuпtlеss microchoices required to make апу тар  selecting which regions to show. which colors to use. or how to represent border disputes and ice caps  а cartographer always offers а сеrtаiп version of the world. This atlas рrеsепts а wOIld where the ..natural." the .'artificial." and the ..political" саппоt Ье separated. Тimezone boundaries. fishiпg..rights law. and oil рiреliпеs are as much а part of our physical geography as rainforests and cropland In targe part. ту mоtlvаtюп for making this atlas was to understand how the allegedly natural world is implicated in the politics of space. And as shown in the scalecomparisons at the bottom of each page, this is not а God'seye view of ап abstract landscape. but а world whlch сап only Ье understood in relation to what I already kпоw This atlas 31so shows that knowledge of the earth will always Ье а comыnation of different kinds of тса produced in many different places. Sheets 68 {о 71 give detailed dеsсrlрtюпs of sources. wlth references where appropriate. Most of the data was created Ьу large gоvеrпmепt agencies for scientific projects. and in all cases it is рrоvisiопаl апd timespecific. As the polar ice recedes. political boundaries are renegotlated. and evermore sophisticated infrastructure blnds the соrпеrs of the world closer together. по тар сап ever Ье truly consistent and ..up to date." This atlas abandons the ..faster better now" ethos of the internet in order to give а more detailed snapshot of а particular moment. Note that all the maps i" this atlas use equalarea projections. meaning that опе square centimeter (or square inch) of paper..space always represents the same area оп the realworld surface of the earth. Additionally. all the maps of sub..continental regions use the same scale and thus сап Ье directly compared with each other. The maps of the world ocean also use а common scale. For а fuller discussion of the three projections used in this atlas. see sheet 67.

This рrоjесtiоп was presented iп 1906 Ьу Мах Eckert, а professor of economic geography at the Тесhпicаl University of Aachen who devoted his career to еstаЫishiпg cartography as а sClence separate from mathematics; he is remembered as а founder of cartography as ап academic discipline. (Не was also ап enthusiastic supporter of the Nazi party and helped compute trajectories for the bombardment of Paris.) The Eckert IV projection was pubIished as part of а series of six world рrоjесtiопs defined Ьу regular geometric boundaries. all with central meridian апd the two poles drawn as lines half the length of the equator (making the mар fit exactly into а 2: 1 rectangle). For the IV projection. the outer meridians are half..circles, the other meridians are half..ellipses. and the spacing of the parallels has Ьееп adjusted using calculus to make the projection equalarea. The linear scale is dеfiпеd Ьу the .'standard parallels" at 40.5°N/S. and the projection is free from shape distortion only where these parallels intersect the central meridian. It is widely used for thematic maps of the world. see Мак Eckert.

This projection. presented in 1805 Ьу the Prussian merchant Heinrich Albers, shows all parallels as concentric circles. апd all mеridiапs converging as stralght liпеs perpendicular to the parallels. It IS constructed Ьу first choosing two parallels along which linear scale will Ье the same, then adjusting the radius апd spacing of the parallels with calculus to make the mар equal..area, There is по shape distоrtiоп along the standard parallels.

This projection was presented in 1772 as part of а series of seven projections Ьу Johann Lambert) а renowned natural philosopher employed Ьу the king of Prussia; his projections were the first to ье derived using calculus. The ДZimuthal Equal..Area projection is constructed Ьу choosing а central point and drawing real..world circles centered оп that point as concentric circles оп the тар; the spacing of these circles is adjusted using calculus to make the projection equal..area. (These imaginary circles only correspond to real..world parallels and meridians when the central point is опе of the poles; in other cases real..world parallels and meridians are complex curves.) The projection is not useful for measurement, since the scale printed оп the mар is only true infinitesimally at the central point and only the central point is free from shape distortion, but it is commonly used for maps of the poles, hemispheres, or other very large areas. see Johann Lambert, '.Anmerkungen und Zus:ttze zur Entwerfung der Land- und Нlmmelscharren." part 3. sectlOn 6 in his Вeirтiзge zum Gebrauche der Mothemot/k илd dеrел Апwелduлg (1772).

I / v Earthquake data was collected Ьу the NatlOnal Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) at the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS). Modern seismometers detect almost all earthquakes greater thап magnitude 5 оп the Richter scale; below 5. global data will not Ье consistent. Between 1975 and 2000 there were more than 40.000 earthquakes greatet- than magnitude 5. Volcano data was collected Ьу the Smithsопiап Institution's Global Vоlcапism Program. Of the 1.500 volcanoes included in the Smithsonian's dataset, almost 400 are known to have erupted since 1900.

71 Temperature and precipitation data north of 60 0 S is derived from the Global Climate Database of the Internationallnstitute of Applied Systems Analyses (IIASA). This data is ап updated version of а 1991 database complled Ьу Rik Leemans and Wolfgang Crame and originally distributed Ьу the Netherlands Nationallnstitute of PubIic Health and Environmental Protection. This database presents monthly averages of measurements taken continuously between 193 1 and 1960. It is pubIished as gridded point data with а resolution of зо arcminutes; I computed а bestfit spline interpolation to smooth the data. Both datasets are availabIe through Global GIS. а pubIication of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the American Geologicallnstitute (AGI). see http://www.-agiweb.orgfpubsfglobalgis Antarctic temperature and precipitation data comes from William Connolley and David Vaughan. two meteorologists associated with the British Antarctic Survey. Their data presents annual averages only. and as with the IIASA data (аЬоуе). it was pubIished as а gridded point database which I then smoothed Ьу computing а bestfit spline interpolation. То compute approximate values for maximum temperature range. I consulted longterm historica.1 data from individual weather stations to roughly model how temperature range varies with elevation; I then calculated temperature range from Connolley's data. То compute approximate values for precipitation range. I used information оп Antarctic precipitation variability to perform а similar calculation оп Vaughan's annual data. These calculations were very simplistic. and the precision implied Ьу ту consistently smooth data is largely fantasty. (Given the small number of weather stations оп the high Antarctic plateau, the spatial resolution of the annual averages is probabIy quite optimistic as well.) for Willlam Conno11ey's temperature data, see http://www.antarctlCa.ac.ukfmetfclimar.efwmcf#t for monthly data from indlvldual weather stаtюпs, see httр:/fwww.апtаrсtiса.ас.uk/mеt1RЕАDЕR for Davld Vaughan's preclpitation data. see http://www.nbs.ac.uk/icd/dgv/surfbal.htm for preClpltatlOn ran.ge. see Rlchard Cullather, Davld Bromwlch, and Mlchael Van Woert, ."Spatlal and Temporal Var,abll,ty of Antarctic PreClpltatlOn from At.mospherlc Methods:' }oиrпal о' C/lmate I I (March 1998).
