The 25th annual edition of this perennial favourite has been completely updated, revised and expanded with many new features, including a section exploring the huge global changes since its inception in 1991. Full of facts and figures about the world today – on subjects as diverse as geography, population and demographics, business, finance and the economy, transport, tourism and the environment, society, culture and crime – it is a mine of fascinating data that will both inform and entertain. Where else would you discover in a single volume that: *A Big Mac in Israel will cost you twice as much as one in South Africa.
