GLOBAL GEOGRAPHY There is a wide variety of travelogues covering practically every part of the world. Many of these are highly informative not only about the physical aspects and architectural development of the country but give also informa- tive data about the life and customs of the people and show something of their religious ceremonies and folk festivals.
