11. The Cambridge Factfinder
Price : $12 (includes shipping) softcover
The editor has divided the work into such sections as the universe, environment, society, religion and mythology, communications, knowledge, and sports and games. A detailed table of contents leads the user to general overviews of a topic, while an excellent 124-page index refers to specific facts. One excellent feature of the Factfinder that will be particularly useful in school and public libraries is the country-by-country discussion under "Human Geography." For each country, the editor provides the local name, transliterated into Roman characters where appropriate; the time zone relative to Greenwich Mean Time; area; population; status (democratic republic, republic, kingdom, etc.); languages; ethnic groups; religions; currency; gross domestic product expressed in U.S. dollars; and a list of heads of state and heads of government. An accompanying map shows major cities and rivers, and a small inset map locates the country on its continent. Many other articles are no less detailed. Under natural history, for example, there is a detailed breakdown of the classification of animals and plants, giving the order and family name (in Latin), common name and examples, number of species, geographic distribution of the order, and its general characteristics. For plants as foodstuffs, including herbs and spices, the editor includes areas of cultivation, edible parts of the plant, as well as common and Latin names. A variety of sketches illustrate the work (e.g., human skeleton and reproductive systems, Christian religious vestments, British and U.S. road signs).
