Allied to this, the rapid growth of global communication systems mean that World events have
become more accessible than ever before and their knock on effects quickly ripple across the
whole planet. News broadcasts bring the far-flung corners of the world into everyone’s lives,
and with it, a view of the people and places that make up that region. The mysteries of the
World that once fueled global exploration and the quest to discover the unknown are behind us;
we inhabit a world of mass transportation, a world where even the most extreme regions have
been mapped, a world with multi faceted view points on every event, a World of
communication overload.
However, does this help us make sense of the World? It is increasingly important for us to have a
clear vision of the World in which we live and such a deluge of information can leave us
struggling to find some context and meaning. It has never been more important to own an atlas;
the DK Complete Atlas of the World has been conceived to meet this need. At its core, like all
atlases, it seeks to define where places are, to describe their main characteristics, and to locate
them in relation to other places. By gathering a spectacular collection of satellite imagery and
draping it with carefully selected and up-to-date geographic information this atlas filters the
World’s data into clear, meaningful and user-friendly maps.
The World works on different levels and so does the DK Complete Atlas of the World. Readers
can learn about global issues of many kinds or they can probe in a little further for the
continental context. Delving even further they can explore at regional, national or even sub-
national level. The very best available satellite data has been used to create topography and
bathymetry that reveal the breathtaking texture of landscapes and sea-floors. These bring out
the context of the places and features selected to appear on top of them.
This second edition of the DK Complete Atlas of the World incorporates hundreds of revisions
and updates affecting every map and every page, distilling the burgeoning mass of information
available through modern technology into an extraordinarily detailed and reliable view
of our World.

The Sun
The Sun is a huge sphere of exceedingly hot
plasma (ionized gas), consisting mainly of the
elements hydrogen and helium. It formed about 4.6
billion years ago, when a swirling cloud of gas and dust
began to contract under the influence of gravity. When the
center of this cloud reached a critically high temperature,
hydrogen nuclei started combining to form helium nuclei – a
process called nuclear fusion – with the release of massive amounts of
energy. This process continues to this day.

DWARF PL ANETS
In 2006 a new type of dwarf planet was
defined in an attempt to classify the
THE WORLD
numerous smaller bodies within the solar
system that behave like planets physically
but which are only a fraction of the size
of the major planets. Currently, there are
five dwarf planets recognized under this
new system, Ceres, Pluto, Haumea,
Makemake, and Eris.

The Physical World
Earth’s surface is constantly being transformed. Movements of the rigid Arctic Circl

tectonic plates that make up this surface are continuously, if slowly, shifting
its landmasses around, while the land itself is constantly weathered and
eroded by wind, water, and ice. Sometimes change is dramatic, the N O RT H

extremely high population densities. Within these areas, a few

Language
Over 6800 different languages exist throughout the world, each one with its own
unique evolutionary history and cultural connotations. Most of these languages
are spoken only by small groups of people in remote regions. Sadly these minority
tongues are dying out—it is estimated that about a third will have disappeared by
the year 2100. The relatively small number of widely-spoken languages have
gained their current predominance and pattern of distribution through a
variety of historical factors. Among these have been the economic, military, or
technological success of certain peoples and cultures, differing population
growth rates, and the effects of migrations and colonization.
The European Union (EU) embraces the diversity of its 27 countries and 23 official
languages by providing a translation and interpretation service for the majority of
its meetings and documentation. This costs around US$ 650 million per year, which
equates to 1 percent of the EU budget.

Balance of trade
Few countries earn from their exports
exactly as much as they spend on
imports. If the imbalance is persistently
negative, it creates a potentially serious
problem of indebtedness. The European New York
Union’s (EU) external trade is broadly in
balance, but the US balance of trade has
been in deficit since the 1970s, partly
because it imports so many consumer
goods. This deficit now stands at around
US$ 500 billion a year.

Countries with oil and gas to sell (notably in the Middle East and
Russia) can charge high prices; trade in fuel was worth US$ 1.4 trillion
in 2005. The US and others are turning back to nuclear power
(despite safety fears) for generating electricity. China relies heavily on
(polluting) coal. Renewable technologies promise much, but so far
make relatively minor contributions.

NORTH AMERICA – Political
Political
Democracy is well established in some parts of the continent but is a recent
phenomenon in others. The economically dominant nations of Canada and the USA
have a long democratic tradition but elsewhere, notably in the countries of Central
America, political turmoil has been more common. In Nicaragua and Haiti, harsh ASIA
dictatorships have only recently been superseded by democratically-elected
governments. North America’s largest countries—Canada, Mexico, and the USA—have
federal state systems, sharing political power between national and state or provincial

Languages
The three major official languages of North America are of European origin, brought by
settlers in the 16th century. In Canada, French and English are spoken; in the USA, English
is the main language, with large Spanish-speaking areas in the southwest; Mexicans are
Spanish-speaking; while the Caribbean islands use French, English, and Spanish as well as
N the hybrid Creole tongues. In isolated areas, languages of the indigenous peoples still
A exist, such as Inuit in the far north of the continent.
