Items related to The Cambridge Factfinder
The Cambridge Factfinder remains the most comprehensive and up-to-date general factbook available. In this new extended edition every area of knowledge has been updated, including populations, international boundaries, the world's political leaders, and international prizes. There is new material covering more than 30 extra pages, including the world's largest cities by population, the most up-to-date political and geographical coverage of the war in the former Yugoslavia, Eritrea as a new country, data about the legal systems of Australia, Canada, South Africa and the USA, details of the universities of 30 new countries, the most recent statistics about the world's language families, the latest details of world English use, and the major causes of death worldwide. There are over 360 illustrations - graphs, diagrams, and specially-drawn maps - and a substantial index.

Review:
Like any good world almanac, The Cambridge Factfinder contains a ton of obscure information that you conceivably might need to know, but won't necessarily remember: the population of Iceland (268,000), the 1935 American League Most Valuable Player (Hank Greenberg, Detroit Tigers), and a chart of bones in the human body (there are 208 of them). It even includes a list of world championship trampoliners. The maps and other graphics are exceptional--much better than the ones appearing in similar volumes--and all measurements are helpfully listed in both metric and American units. It is an excellent all-purpose, single-volume reference book.
Book Description:
As well as being thoroughly updated and overhauled, this edition presents much new material and a substantial index.
