The Kingfisher Geography Encyclopedia

A wide variety of titles introduce geographical and cultural topics around the globe. The Kingfisher Geography Encyclopedia by Clive Gifford begins with the formation of the earth, its rotation and its interior, and proceeds to describe its continents and countries, with maps, photos and information on population, language, government, economy, culture and more. Captioned photos offer up-close views of the salt mines nine miles southeast of Krakow, Poland, and a textile printer in Syria's second-largest city, plus a panoramic image of the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia, between the Java and Sumatra islands.
