PHW provides all one expects in an encyclopedic work that covers every country of the world: data on population, monetary units, natural resources, languages, etc. PHW goes beyond the routine to add extensive political background, information on economics and social movements, the history and leadership of political parties, and current issues of domestic and international importance. Also included are separate entries on more than 100 major intergovernmental organizations. Appendices chronologically list major international events since 1945 as well as every major international UN conference.
