Review
America’s Ranking Among Nations: A Global Perspective of the United States in Graphic Detail lives up to its title with full-color, easy-to-read charts and graphs on almost every page, accompanied by text spelling out the finer details. All the information is collected from the public databases of U.S. federal agencies or vetted international sources. The reference material has been gathered expressly to reveal America’s standing among the nations of the world in a diversity of areas, from education to infant mortality, currency exchange rates, recoverable natural resources and much more. Highly recommended, especially for public and college library reference shelves. ― Midwest Book Review
