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.
