Sample Maps from Atlas of Science Literacy, Volume 1
The sample maps from Atlas are in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). In order to view these documents you must have the Adobe Reader. If you do not have the reader, you may download it from the Adobe web site and install it using the included instructions.
Note about printing the sample maps. Atlas of Science Literacy is an oversized book measuring 12"x15". Printing a sample map on a standard 8.5"x11" sheet does not provide an adequate indication of how the map looks. When printing a map you can uncheck the "Fit to page" option to see a more accurate representation of its size and appearance (please note that this option will not print the entire map).
