Facts On File's references - Encyclopedia of the First World, Encyclopedia of the Second World, and Encyclopedia of the Third World - have been updated and are now a three-volume set entitled the Encyclopedia of the World's Nations. Each volume covers history, geography, and economics, politics, human rights, and environmental issues, the status of women, and more for every country in the world. The encyclopedia features 191 country-by-country surveys of practical data in more than 30 separate categories. Students, researchers, teachers, and general readers will find an emphasis on tables, charts, lists, and other graphic means of displaying information linked with narrative accounts of each nation's peoples, history, and government.
