An atlas is a collection of maps; it is typically a bundle of maps of Earth or of a region of Earth. Atlases have traditionally been bound into book form. In addition to presenting geographic features and political boundaries, many atlases often feature geopolitical, social, religious and economic statistics. They also have information about the map and places in it. The first work that contained systematically arranged maps of uniform size representing the first modern atlas was the collection of maps Theatrum Orbis Terrarum by the Brabantian cartographer Abraham Ortelius printed in 1570. Atlases published now are quite different from those published in the 16th-19th centuries. Unlike today, most atlases were not bound and ready for the customer to buy, but their possible components were shelved separately. The client could select the contents to their liking, and have the maps colored/gilded or not. The atlas was then bound. Thus, early printed atlases with the same title page can be different in contents. The Encyclopædia Britannica is a general knowledge English-language encyclopædia.
