520 $aCvers the history, development, and current status of more than 120 international industries such as Biotechnology, Information technology services, Internet services, Telecommunications equipment, Real estate, and Trucking and courier services. The well-written articles provide relevant, factual, current data from a variety of sources. Each insightful article organizes information under standard headings-for example, "Industry Snapshot," "Background and Development," "Industry Leaders," and "Major Countries in the Industry." Each also includes Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and descriptions. Entries conclude with lists of print and electronic resources, usually from 2004 and 2005. The depth of industry coverage is impressive. For example, the "Entertainment and Recreation" category includes entries on Amusement parks, Gaming, Hotels, Motion picture production and distribution, Sports clubs and promoters, Toys and sporting goods, and Video tape rental and retail. A very useful feature for industry research is the "NAICS Conversion Table," with the numerical listing of six-digit NAICS codes cross-referenced with four-digit SIC codes. Three helpful indexes are also provided. In addition to the general index, the "SIC Index" is a numerical listing of references based on the four-digit SIC codes, and the "Geographic Index" is an alphabetical listing of countries and regions cited in this edition, subdivided by industry. This volume will give students, researchers, and investors a solid background in how an industry operates and which countries and companies are major players in it. More experienced researchers will use the current and historical statistics for in-depth analysis and comparison. In s.
