Geography the of world IS DIVIDED INTO six continental sections – North America, Central and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australasia and Oceania.

At the start of each section there is a map showing the whole continent, and pages describing the peoples who live there.

Each country, or group of countries, then has an individual map showing its cities, towns, and main geographical features.

This is followed by country pages that go into detail about life in the countries.

The reference section can be used to find out more about subjects of general interest, such as world religions or political systems.

There is also a glossary, a gazetteer, and an index.

These two pages explain the symbols and information found throughout Geography the of world.
