The books trace similar paths through life in each country, making them useful for comparative studies or for an in-depth look into a single country. Each attractively designed book contains a wealth of information presented in easy-to-read text, valuable case studies that highlight important topics (such as a flooding, a particular industry, a specific example of urban regeneration, or an environmental problem), and key statistics as well as clearly formulated charts and diagrams.
