Symbols matter. Flags, currencies, stamps, national foods, coats of arms, etc., all proclaim the origins, status, and identity of the nation-states of our increasingly interdependent world. This set features an extensive collection of international symbols and cultural emblems never before offered in such a concise and easy-to-use package. Inclusive of all the UN member states and some of the most prominent stateless nations, it also features an expansive color photo insert to enhance the reader's understanding of each symbol and its meaning. The set blends both the political and cultural, including not only flags, national seals, and national anthems, but also foods and recipes, national heroes, sports teams, festivals, and pivotal events in the formation of national identity. Entries are organized by region and then alphabetically by country, allowing for easy navigation.
