  This handbook provides a snapshot of each country in the world. There is a map to show location and a brief overview of the geography, with the focus on the contemporary social, economic, and political issues that shape each country. There are data tables that show the main social and economic indicators for each country, such as GNP, life expectancy, and population growth and density. References to source books and recommendations for further reading, whether at international, national, or regional level, are also given.
