The Third World handbook

Originally published in 1989, Third World Handbook is now available in a new and completely revised Second Edition -- updated to take account of the ending of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union (and the new Third World status of many of its former constituent republics) and to consider the effects of demographic change in the Third World. Also new to this Second Edition is a Biographical Section, providing details of the major figures in the Third World.Illustrated with maps and photographs, Guy Arnold's Third World Handbook is the product of a lifetime's research and study of this crucial part of the world. It should provide a valuable, time-saving reference tool in the collections of all kinds of libraries.
