With over 170,000 entries, the Columbia Gazetteer of the World is an authoritative encyclopedia of geographical places and features. Whether you’re looking for the ten highest mountain peaks in North America, the major commercial crops in Brazil’s economy, all the rivers in Southeast Asia, the former name of the city of Yangon, or the natural resources available in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Gazetteer is the one-stop resource for all your information needs.
First published in 1998, the Gazetteer now features new entries and extensive revisions to reflect recent administrative divisions in countries around the world. It also contains new maps, population figures, and an expanded glossary of geographical and geological terms. With its long history of accuracy and authority, there is no other encyclopedia like Gazetteer.
