The Encyclopedia of World Geography: A Country by Country Guide

The last decade has seen international borders redrawn, new nations emerge and old countries return from the pages of history. Until now, there has been no comprehensive, up-to-the-minute guide to this new world we live in. The Encyclopedia of World Geography spans every nation of the world, including all of the countries that came into being as a result of the breakup of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia. Highly informative articles, combined with detailed mapping, facts and figures, and hundreds of photographs make this the best single-volume reference available today.
