World Today 2014 (Volume 30) (World Today (Stryker), 30)

Begun in 1966, The World Today Series® offers an unusually penetrating look into every nation – its geographical setting, history, current government, politics, cultures, economic problems and prospects. The up-to-date content is effectively supplemented with maps, photographs, original art, and comprehensive bibliographies. As events become more remote, their descriptions are condensed with each new edition, which allows more room to present important, current events and in-depth discussions of why these events occurred along with their future implications. The result is a series of well-proportioned, complete and very up-to-date texts which focus on today, without any unnecessary clutter and repetitive background detail.Revised and published each August, the books in the series provide important details and analysis for each country, with sharp focus on the realities of today’s events. Year after year, the combination of factual accuracy and up-to-date detail along with the informed projections make The World Today books outstanding resources for researchers, practitioners in international development, media professionals, government officials, potential investors, students, and high-school, college & public libraries. Available in both print and e-book formats and priced low to fit student and library budgets!
