Library Journal Review
First issued as a classified document in 1962, this public, annually published resource profiles over 270 recognized countries, oceanic regions, and wildlife refuges. When applicable, A-to-Z entries note significant historical developments, geographical characteristics, population and economic figures, governmental structure, media and transportation methods, enlisted military data, and major international disputes. Although intended for use by government officials, this is a practical, at-a-glance resource for both researchers and curious lay people. A good choice for public libraries and collections focused on international politics. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
