PREFACE When THE STATESMAN'S YEAR-BOOK was computer-set in 1978 the editor brought about some fundamental changes to the format and these were well received. In this the 118th edition there are further improvements. Great emphasis has been placed on the French overseas departments and territories and French-speaking countries. The former Condominium of New Hebrides is now Vanuatu and specially prepared maps show 'World Islam' and 'International Fishing'. The editor regrets that, at the time of going to press, many of the US Ambassadors to be appointed under the new administration were not known. Again the editor would like to thank all his correspondents for superb help during the year and would like to reiterate that he is always pleased to receive constructive and informed criticism. Sometimes it is not possible to bring about change immediately but all suggestions are considered. T h e s e c o n d e d i t i o n o f T H E STATESMAN'S YEAR-BOOK W O R L D GAZETTEER i s a v a i l -

able for those who need more detailed information about individual towns.
