Product Reviews:
  A good place to start ( dkistner1111 )
You can get this information online for free--and there is a newer edition out, but it costs twice as much--but it's nice to have the reference material on your Kindle for browsing while you're stuck in some waiting room. The information is essentially factual, presented in a rigid format (all countries treated exactly the same); it's an encyclopedic compendium that any student needing to write a term paper would have a field day with.

I think the geographical coordinates are extremely helpful, because if you find an area you are interested in further exploring, you can call it up via Google Earth. I like, too, the fact that it discusses environmental treaties and issues for the various countries.

We're not too far from retirement and are dreaming about becoming American expatriates--not sure where yet; a lot will depend on the dollar's decline--so this fact book is very helpful in our researches.
