1. This book is the "Europe" volume of the three-volume "Historical Statistics of the World." It covers continuous statistical data on basic socio-economic indicators of all major European countries and political entities since 1750. Together with the "Asia, Africa, and Oceania" volume and the "Americas" volume, "Historical Statistics of the World" is an exhaustive compilation of detailed statistical data on regions and major countries and political entities worldwide since modern times, continuing to the present. It is widely used in economic research, historical research, and international research, as well as all social science fields. Without a doubt, it will become an indispensable reference tool for researchers and learners in all social science disciplines.
2. The statistical indicators in "Historical Statistics of the World·Europe" are divided into ten major categories, which are:
A. Population and Vital Statistics
B. Labor
C. Agriculture
D. Industry
E. Foreign Trade
F. Transportation and Communications
G. Finance and Public Finance
H. Prices
I. Education
J. National Accounts
Under each major category, specific statistical indicators are further (subdivided), such as: in addition to national population figures, there are statistics on regional population within the country; production data for industry and agriculture are divided by basic products; "Finance and Public Finance" includes the banking system and government taxes; "National Accounts" not only includes GDP figures for each country but also the proportion of major industrial sectors in each country, as well as balance of payments data, etc.
In addition to these uniformly organized statistical data throughout the book, the compilers have also listed reference data for certain countries or periods based on the latest statistical findings and research materials they have access to, to help readers gain a deeper understanding of relevant information.
