Handbook of the World (Oxford Paperback Reference)

Rating:
Summary: Great little reference!
Review: This great paperback reference is just coming out with an updated 2004 edition, which will have all the wonderful features that make the 2000 edition so useful to anyone interested in getting the basic facts and background on all the countries of the world. It's so well written and fun to read, and makes it so much easier to understand all the news you're getting about the world (yes, there is a world outside of the United States - and it is very interesting).
