Description: "This site serves as a valuable resource for primary and secondary school educators developing curricula focused on global concerns such as peace, poverty and work. For up to five UN member states, InfoNation allows users to compare statistical data drawn from the World Statistic's Pocketbook, Statistical Yearbook and Demographic Yearbook. 'Country at a Glance' allows users to view statistics on the population, economy, health, technology, and environment as well as current news for a single member state. The interactive format is fun and easy to use; colors and charts present information in clear and meaningful patterns. The introduction provides an overview of the history and the work of the UN complete with an organizational chart that links to the appropriate homepages"--Reviewed Mar. 8, 2004, "Best Free Reference Web Sites 2004," RUSA Quarterly, Fall 2004.
