Synopsis
Philip's Flags of the World is an authoritative and beautifully illustrated guide to national flags. The flags of every sovereign state are displayed in alphabetical order with accompanying statistics on the flag's ratio, its use, date of adoption and date of last amendment.Specially drawn for Philip's, the flags are fully up-to-date to 2003, and are presented at optimum size and in full and correct colours to help with identification. There is a fascinating history for each flag, as well as a thorough description and an explanation of its symbolism. Accompanying the flag text is a concise history of each nation and a panel of statistics and facts (such as the national anthem, motto, population size, religious and ethnic groups). Carefully chosen stamps colourfully convey further information about each nation. A colour 16-page political map section, produced by Philip's world-renowned cartographic team, helps the reader locate the nations.In addition to the national flags there are the state flags of the United States of America and provinces of Canada, flags of international organizations, signal flags and ensigns, rules on the display and use of flags (when to fly a flag, when to fly a flag at half mast, when to fly upside down, etc.), a history of flags and a glossary of flag terms.Produced in a pocket-sized format, Philip's Flags of the World has been carefully compiled by a team of international experts and is endorsed by the Flag Institute.Main map scale:
