The World Factbook, produced annually by the CIA, has become the
ultimate, authoritative source of information on all the nations of
the world. It provides current data for more than 250 countries and
territories, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Potomac Books publishes
a commercial version of The World Factbook in order to extend the
limited audience reached by the CIA's own publication. This current
Potomac Books edition is identified by the year 2010, following the
pattern used in our other annual publications, since the CIA
completed its volume late the preceding year. Topics addressed
include the political climate, natural resources, environment,
population, ethnic groups, GDP, agriculture, industries, defense
expenditures, literacy rate, religion, legal system, and much more.
Key data are grouped under the headings of geography, people,
government, economy, communications, transportation, military, and
transnational issues. The World Factbook also contains maps of each
country and of key territories. In addition, readers will find
handy appendixes on international organizations and groups,

Did you ever lose your keys? Lock picking is the skill of unlocking
a lock by analyzing and manipulating the components of the lock
device, without the original key. Although lock picking can be
associated with criminal intent, it is an essential skill for a
locksmith. Lock picking is the ideal way of opening a lock without
the correct key, while not damaging the lock, allowing it to be
rekeyed for later use, which is especially important with antique
locks that would be impossible to replace if destructive entry
methods were used.
