All of us notice it everyday. From news reports
to novels, travel brochures, and foreign vis-
itors, we see the world grow smaller.
We hear about new plans, wonder about
different customs, Our economy is affected by
a strike in Lesotho. Our government responds
to an emergency in Kuwait. We read about
the pleasures of the beaches of Sri Lanka. And
we want to know more. Where is it? Who
lives there? How do they live?
From tiny San Marino or sophisticated
Monaco to the vast plains of the USSR and
the rolling prairies of the United States of
America, all the nations of the world and their
dependencies are described in this new pic-
torial atlas. Their climate, chief resources and
products, the currency; the vegetation,
geographic features, and animal life - all, and
more, are covered in The Golden Picture
Atlas.
For ease of reference, the book is organized
by continents, with the countries arranged
alphabetically. Each continent section begins
with an introductory article where all the
strands are gathered together showing how
the countries interrelate. Separate articles
outline the politics, history, culture, and
economy of each country - why the nations
are as they are.
The longest rivers, the highest mountains,
the largest lakes, and the most important
towns are listed. Concise, quick-reference
tables give each nation s flag, cal~ital, area,
population, and economic resources.
There are more than 100 comprehensive,
up-to-date maps - a large, detailed map for
each continent and for most countries, as well
as many maps for regions such as the
Caribbean, West Africa, and Indonesia.
