商品簡介
Jott progresses alphabetically through the countries of the world, providing an illustration of their flag, brief statistics and factual information, and a paragraph-long account of the flag's history. This revised and expanded second edition includes six international flags, such as ones for the Arab League or International Olympic Committee (IOC), along with representations of flags for individual states in the US and selected countries in Europe. Where flags have been updated, the changes are also depicted. A four page preface covers topics such as the origin of flags and the symbolism of their colors and a one page glossary closes out the book. An index is included for locating flags by individual country, state, or region. The book was translated from the German by Edward Force.
