Synopsis
An alternative reference to the countries of our planet
12th Biennial Edition
The World Guide has earned its place among the essential reference works that no library, school or home can be without. Not only is it highly informative, with easy-access alphabetical listings of all countries and a wealth of information unavailable elsewhere, but The World Guide also has the advantage of being produced by a research organization based in Latin America with a network of contributors from around the Third World. The book is an invaluable key to understanding global issues, as well as a definitive guide to the countries of the world. It provides everything you will find in a conventional reference work, including maps, data and statistical tables, plus a great deal more.
There are more than 600 pages of global information, with over 250 maps, 650 diagrams, 10,000 references and full index, plus a fold-out full-colour world map. The book divides into 85 pages on development themes, followed by 520 pages of country-by-country information. The final section include a bibliography and 'The Whole World in Figures' - an essential set of global indicators.
