Special Reference

This book is filled with information about geographical locations, countries, cultures, politics, governments and maps. It offers lot of various data that you won't find in other books. It's small and compact and the data is easy to access. I recommend this book for anybody who is looking for condensed quick information about the world we live in. S. Schmidt

Very Nice Book, But...

I really enjoy geography, and I love this book for its nicely done easy access to basic facts about all the world's countries. The book covers the "Big Bang" to E-Commerce while neglecting the fact that the "Big Bang" is only a theory and treating it as fact. (Shucks, God might have been a programmer and we really came into being through Philosophy's "Black Box Theory". :) It also fails to discuss "Lifeboat Ethics" and the "J-curve" or "carrying capacity". But, the book is overall an excellent and beautifully done resource. It is the first I reach for when I want to find out about a place. I would have given this book five stars except it fails to provide a quick reference to the worlds longest, largest, highest, deepest, rivers, mountains, lakes etc.
