Content/Scope: Covers 194 countries and the United Nations discussing everything from the physical layout of each country to the social and economic climate in each country.
Accuracy/Authority/Bias: This set has been in publication since 1960 with this being the 13th edition. Seen as a great one-stop source for information from around the world.
Arrangement/Presentation: Broken down into 201 articles in five volumes with charts and graphs and an index that make it visually appealing and easy to search for information. They are also arranged both geographically by region and alphabetically by region.
Relation to similar works: With so much of the research being done on the computers today, the library does not currently have a whole lot of print resources like this. This would be a great single set to make for easy research for students.
Accessibility/Diversity: This book covers every country from around the world providing quality information about different cultures and religions that are prominent in those countries. This set is a great resource for students to learn about other cultures and people.
