Not every country in, fro example Africa or South America, is included, but, those that are, give a flavour of the variety to be found there. Opening with an original style of contents page, consisting of a world map with countries labelled with the pages where information can be found, the atlas is divided into eight sections, looking at countries within each continent plus the Arctic and Antarctica.
