- Summary:
-
The Encyclopedia of International Boundaries presents every existing international land boundary line in its historical context. In concise but detailed entries, accompanied by easy-to-read maps, Dr. Gideon Biger and his collaborators summarize the political and cultural history, as well as the topographical features, that have determined the location of each, citing the relevant treaties, agreements or informal arrangements that govern them. They also give an account of the present status of each border, noting unresolved claims and disputes. Text and maps are supplemented with dozens of useful photographs that allow the reader to visualize each border region. This important book brings together information that formerly could be found only by consulting several reference sources. The Encyclopedia of International Boundaries will surely become a standard reference for students, journalists and others who need to keep themselves informed about the state of the world.
