Reviews

[Pramod Nair · Rating 4 out of 5]

This title from Reader's Digest Publications is a comprehensive resource on the political, geographical and social aspects of our world today. It is a geographical dictionary which is quite interesting to read rather than being just a list of facts and figures about places of the world.

You can actually learn amazing facts about every nation or places in our modern world with detailed insights in to their cultural, economic and political backgrounds. The information contained is well researched and up-to-date and the maps presented are quite useful.

A good title to have in your library for quick reference.
