註釋The 3rd edition of this comprehensive resource, now published by Gale, provides entries on the physical geography of every country in the world plus other selected locations. Each entry features a relief map depicting the geography of the location plus detailed text that describes its features, climate and vegetation. Entries are formatted with standardized rubrics to facilitate comparison. Statistics of particular use to students, such as tallest mountain and world size ranking, are highlighted in each entry. In addition, Geo-Data features a special rankings section, outlining statistics such as the ten longest rivers on each continent, largest deserts in the world and others. Includes a comprehensive index.
