Firefly World Factbook
A handy A-Z reference guide to countries around the world.
The Firefly World Factbook features concise articles, at-a-glance charts and colorful maps for all the countries in the world. A simple locator map shows the position of each country within its region, and the national flag is illustrated with an explanation of its origins.
Arranged in alphabetical order by country, the Firefly World Factbook is a pocket-sized reference that offers immediate data about a nation's climate, vegetation, history, current politics, and economy.
Up-to-date statistics are presented in reference tables that include such facts as:
- Country's size and population
- Type of government
- Ethnic groups and languages
- Religion and currency
Did You Know sidebars offer interesting or intriguing facts. For instance, northern Europe's Latvian language is related to Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. Color annotated maps feature principle cities, roads, railways and border crossings.
Firefly World Factbook is an indispensable guide for the curious -- from students to travelers to researchers.
