Which Version
Should I Download?

|
|
|
First, consider
how you will use the Atlas.
72 dpi |
Choose 72 dpi if you will read it on-screen, display it with a projector, or share it by email. |
|
150
dpi |
Choose 150 dpi if you will print it to make a book or exhibit. |
DPI means Dots Per Inch —the higher the number, the better the image
quality.

Then,
consider your download speed. If you have a fast connection, we recommend
downloading the entire Atlas, as you can click directly to each Story from
its Table of Contents. However if you have a modem or dial-up connection,
download the Introduction and Stories one at a time. In either version,
follow the hotlinks to visit websites mentioned in each Story.

For
the very best quality printing, get the Atlas CD-ROM —it is 300 dpi,
which is the same quality as many books and magazines.
CD-ROMs and printed Atlas books will become available at the online Atlas
Store in mid-2004. Add your email
address to our list to be notified
about new editions.
The Atlas is ready for you to view, print
and bind now, directly from the downloaded PDFs!
