A publication inspired by the 19th-century historian Thomas Carlyle, the
Statesman's Yearbook—once dubbed "an English institution"—has published annually without interruption since 1864. The 150th edition of this authoritative work on countries throughout the world includes several revisions: updated biographical and economic information, maps of 19th-century North America and Europe from the first volume, and enlarged historical introductions to each section, among other updates. As in previous versions, the vast majority of this hefty volume consists of alphabetically arranged entries on 194 countries, with pieces including economic, political, social, demographic, religious, and cultural information. A particularly invaluable feature is the descriptive subchapters that incorporate this same content for the states, provinces, or other geographic divisions of many countries—all 50 U.S. states, Canadian and South African provinces, and Indian states, to name just a few. Print and online citations at the end of each entry further enhance the title's reference value. Online access is available through a separate site license.
