Reference Book of the Week



Geo-Data : The World Geographical Encyclopedia 
John F. McCoy, project editor
Detroit : Thomson-Gale, 2003
Reference Section: call number G103.5 .G36 2003

Geo-Data: The World Geographical Encyclopedia provides entries on the physical geography of every country (as of 2003) in the world. Each entry includes maps of the country's geography as well as detailed text describing its features, climate and vegetation.

The entries for each country are standardized in format for ease of comparison, and include such fun facts for each country as largest city, tallest mountain, longest river, highest and lowest elevation, and types of natural hazards.
