All brand new, incredible photography illustrates each country, depicting what life is like in each nation from photographic portraits of people, to beautiful landscapes and vibrant scenes of street life. Supported by colorful and detailed mapping, this title will bring the world to life for a new generation of travelers"-- Provided by publisher.

Each two-page spread provides a profile of a country: when to visit, what to see and do, and how to learn more about the country's culture from its film, music, food and drink. Arranged A to Z, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, each entry briefly depicts what life is like in that nation. Oversized and weighty, this is definitely not a travel guide, but the book provides a complete picture of the life-enhancing experiences, diversity, and cultures that can be found when you travel to other countries-- even if only in the pages of a book. -- adapted from back cover and perusal of book
