Places of the World is the only place-name geography book on the market that systematically identifies, maps, and describes each and every one of the world's 193 independent countries. With an organization that parallels Hobbs and Salter's text, this unique workbook provides students with organized practice for matching the names of places with their physical location on a map. The new Fifth Edition is thoroughly updated and includes more than 300 maps--200 new. A consistent framework, summarized by the acronym PLACES (Population, Language, Area, Capital, Economy, and Sovereignty), is used throughout.
