With a few quick page turns in seconds, the Illustrated World Human Geography Encyclopedia will take you to any place you desire, to every corner of the globe: from the ring-shaped coral islands in the Pacific to the highland pastures of Europe, from the misty rainforests of South America to the frozen tundra of the Arctic Circle. In this book, you will traverse mountains, deserts, forests, and plains, observe the animals and plants that survive in these environments, meet the people who live on these lands, and learn about their lifestyles, fashion styles, food, and languages. You will also discover how they developed over the course of history, the wars they fought, the struggles they waged for independence, and their economic achievements. Throughout the book, with the help of the locator globe, beautiful maps will show you cities, rivers, roads, mountains, and other landscapes. The Illustrated World Human Geography Encyclopedia quotes a vast amount of historical facts about countries around the world verbatim. To collect these images and data, a small team of enthusiastic writers, editors, planners, photo researchers, production supervisors, and other staff members put in tremendous effort. As you "travel around the world" through this book, you will see all that they have done for you. Sit down, open the book, and enjoy your journey!
