The AAAS Atlas of Population and Environment
This is an important analysis of the relationships between human population and the environment. Illustrating through text, maps, and diagrams how population affect the world's ecosystems and natural resources both in the short and long term, the Atlas brings together a wealth of information from the most up-to-date sources.
In view of the profound significance of these issues as we enter the new century, this accessible resource will be an invaluable tool for individuals, academics, governments, and corporations. Divided into topical chapters and fully referenced, these materials are offered as web pages and Adobe Acrobat documents. All the information of the Atlas is currently accessible and will be expanded and improved regularly.
And now you can research the materials, and build your own research file using the My Atlas feature.

Yale University Map Collection
Dr. Lanman's Collection reflects truly "a man of many parts." He was instrumental in discovering that excess oxygen use in treating premature babies was a major cause of infant blindness. He was professor of pediatrics and chairman of the pediatrics department at the Down State Medical College of the State University of New York, and the author of many articles. He was director of the Center for Research for Mothers and Children at the National Institutes of Health. In addition to a distinguished career in medicine, he built an elegant collection of maps, books and globes, many focusing on East Asia (the Orient), where he had served during World War II as a medical naval officer.

It delivers easy to use, map-like views of America's natural and sociopolitical landscapes. Unlike the previous Atlas, this version is largely digital.
