The resource features a wide array of detailed maps and presents information such as key facts and statistics about the people and geography of each continent in an easy-to-reference system of lists, fact boxes, tables, and charts. The first section surveys the solar system and planet earth; earthquakes and volcanoes; mountains, lakes, rivers, and oceans; and examines each of the individual continents. The second section provides continent-by-continent information on various cultures along with a survey of migration, religions, celebrations, and key issues within each country, allowing readers to compare statistics such as total area, population, energy usage—for every country of the world. Flags of each country are also included in addition to citations of the largest waterfalls and the tallest mountains.
