What sort of atlas, map of the world? To find out where places are, vertebrae joining skull to spinal column? to allow transmission of nerve impulses to the body, explain yourself more or get a dictionary!

1. A book or bound collection of maps, sometimes with supplementary illustrations and graphic analyses. 2. A volume of tables, charts, or plates that systematically illustrates a particular subject: an anatomical atlas. 3. A large size of drawing paper, measuring 26 Ã 33 or 26 Ã 34 inches.
If you had used capitalization I would have probably have stated; Since Atlas was a Titan condemned by Zeus to support the heavens upon his shoulders. I'd probably dump all my problems on him or rent him out for heavy lifting jobs.

Atlases were used to mark latitudes and longitudes for distances between lands and seas. It is also a help aid for those who want to know where other continents are in relation to the one they live on. They often show places of importance like the rivers and mountains .
