by Barry Turner (Editor)
For the last 136 years, The Statesman's Year Book has provided accurate and comprehensive information on the current political, economic and social status of every country in the world. The present editor is only the seventh in the 136 years of publication. Specially commissioned essays from political and academic figures supplement country entries in areas of major upheaval and change. A fold out colour section provides a political world map and flags for the 192 countries of the world. The annual publication of The Statesman's Year Book gives all the information in a single volume on monitoring the pattern of flow of world change. It is designed to save time in research and cross referencing between different sources.
