	Atlas (cartography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, use of the word "atlas" for a bound collection of maps was not to come into use until the posthumous publication of Gerardus Mercator’s "Atlas, Sive Cosmographicae Meditationes De Fabrica Mundi..." (Atlas, or Description of the Universe) (Duisburg, 1585-1595).
		Atlas was punished by Zeus and made to bear the weight of the heavens and earth on his back.
		It was this Atlas that Mercator was referring to when he first used the name 'Atlas', and he included a depiction of the King on the title-page.

	Edwards - The World in a Machine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Jay Forrester's "world dynamics" models were to gain an enormous influence as the basis for The Limits to Growth, the popular best-seller that predicted the catastrophic collapse of socio-economic systems by the middle of the 21st century, based on current trends.
		World dynamics' essential conclusion was that many existing trends (resource consumption, pollution increases, population growth, etc.) displayed exponential growth rates which a finite planet could not possibly sustain.
		The world dynamics models continued to show, after refinement and even on the most optimistic assumptions, that natural resources would be rapidly exhausted, that pollution would rapidly increase to life-threatening levels, and that catastrophic collapse, including massive famine, would follow around the year 2050.

	Is the Bahá'í Faith a World Religion? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Smith argues that the expansion of the Bahá'í Faith into the Third World is one of the most important aspects of the religion's development, "vastly changing the social composition of its adherents and realistically establishing its claims to be a world religion" (Smith, Babi 190).
		The case against the classification of the Bahá'í Faith as a world religion is presented and shown to rely on criteria that are not integral to the classification of world religions.
		Whatever the merits of this case, there are important practical implications of the term "world religion" in areas such as university religious studies, religious education, and interreligious dialogue and cooperation.

		(1986) and the Atlas of the ocean wind and wave climate of Young and Holland (1996).
		This part of the atlas is also intended as a complement and addition to current literature, namely studies of ocean wave variability, such as WASA (1998) and Wang and Swail (2001), which were confined to the Northern Hemisphere.
		For this reason the atlas presents maps of monthly trends of the mean, of the 90% and 99% quantiles and of the annual mean time of exceedences of fixed thresholds.
