About this book

For the last 138 years, The Statesman's Yearbook has been relied upon to provide accurate and comprehensive information on the current political, economic and social status of every country in the world. The appointment of the new editor - only the seventh in 138 years - brought enhancements to the 1998-99 edition and these have been continued since then. Internet usage figures are included. Specially commissioned essays from major political and academic figures supplement country entries in areas of major upheaval and change. A fold out colour section provides a political world map and flags for the 191 countries of the world. The task of monitoring the pattern or flow of world change is never-ending. However, the annual publication of The Statesman's Yearbook gives all the information needed in one easily digestible single volume. It will save hours of research and cross-referencing between different sources. A prestigious and popular book, The Statesman's Yearbook is updated every 12 months. In a world of continual change The Statesman's Yearbook is a necessary annual purchase.

Reviews

'You need more than one of everything because no information is value-free - except perhaps in Macmillan's annual The Statesman's Yearbook...a masterpiece of pure quantification.' - Daily Telegraph (Victoria Glendinning's choice of Top Reference Book)

'One the desert island of the imagination this title should certainly be up there with the Bible and Shakespeare.' - Parliamentary Maritime Review

'Saves hours of research and cross-referencing between different sources' - Bookseller Buyers' Guide
