About this title

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.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
