520			_aEarth Condensed features detailed mapping of countries in the world: from Pacific Islands to Arctic tundra, from the deserts of Africa to Amazon Forests, from the plains of North America to the Himalayas, from the farmland of Europe to Antarctica. The physical geography is illustrated with topographic shading, while the place names and boundaries reflect the latest changes in political geography. Moreover, it discusses topics on biodiversity and climate change. It also provides information on environment (how landforms come into being, how climatic systems operate, the unspoiled habitats of wild life) and the interaction between humans and the environment (how man used the natural resources, how man spread across the land, the patterns of commerce and communication, the effects of natural disasters). Lastly, it delves into the history, culture, politics, economy, religion, and government of every nation.
