Synopsis
This major reference work on the countries of the world is compiled by the Third World Institute in Montevideo, Uruguay. The book is highly informative, with easy-access alphabetical listings of all countries and a wealth of information unavailable elsewhere. The 1999/2000 edition includes: up-to-date information on 235 countries, arranged alphabetically for easy location, plus related maps, diagrams, and statistics; a profile of each country, including its environment, history, politics, economics, and social context; and key facts and indicators on literacy, mortality, trade, employment, schooling, and health. In addition to the country-specific maps there is a large fold-out colour map.

Written by people from the South, for people in the South, 26 May 2000

By A Customer

This detailed, well-organized reference provides a guide to all the countries of the world from the perspective of the South. Most of the contributors are from the developing world, and the work is coordinated by the Instituto del Tercer Mundo in Uruguay. Don't be fooled by your gut reaction that a book can't be readable and rigorous unless it's published in New York, however. This is one of the better geopolitical reference sources in print by any standard. The country profiles provide unparalleled historical summaries of developing nations, along with truly relevant statistics. It also provides analyses of current global issues, such as food, health, education, poverty, habitat and human welfare.
