Mitchell, American special envoy to the Middle East 'A miracle of compression: the key facts about the entire world crisply collated in [its] tightly edited pages.

Patten, CH, Chancellor of Oxford University, UK 'Should be in every office which is concerned with world trade and, indeed, in every school which produces the future traders. It is an essential tool of all global thinking.' - Geographical Magazine 'Originally designed for statesmen but now used by anyone needing information on the politics, cultures, and economies of the world, this yearbook is one of the longest-running annual publications in history.' - Library Journal 'The information this book contains renders it indispensible.' - The New York Times, 1874 'A must for any enquiring mind wishing to be well-informed on world facts and events.' - review from user on www.amazon.com
