From Booklist:
Reviewed with Rob Bowden's Kenya.
Gr. 6-10. These titles in the new Countries of the World series dispel stereotypes with modern, wide-angle views of their countries. Chapters in both titles cover similar categories: physical geography, resources, ethnic populations, tourism, and commerce. Kenya glosses over colonial impact, but it includes a detailed overview of the tensions between commercial development in an impoverished nation and the need to protect natural resources and wildlife. Brazil is frank about the country's racial frictions and economic inequality, and there are several photos that show profoundly poor slums. A welcome departure from series that make sunny, generic pronouncements about a country's populations or skim over ugly facts, these titles offer a wealth of nearly up-to-date information and a realistic introduction to their subjects. They also feature good-quality color photos of urban and rural homes and buildings and traditional and western lifestyles. A chart for converting the text's metric figures and a list of suggested readings are appended. Fine resources for reports or classroom support. Gillian Engberg
