Synopsis

Diversity is the spice of life, and the highly regarded Cultures of the World series celebrates just that in fully updated, and expanded editions. As has always been true of these outstanding titles, an abundance of vibrant photographs -- including those new to this edition -- stimulate the imaginations of young readers as they travel the globe. A new chapter on the environment focuses on politics and economics as well as on endangered species and the effects of industrialization. Additional authentic recipes add general interest while new maps offer further, easy-to-find facts in "About the Geography, " "About the Culture" and "About the Economy" sections.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 5-9-Both of these titles offer up-to-date information on the geography, history, government, lifestyles, religion, festivals, arts, and contemporary life in their subject countries. The concise writing offers enough material for report writers without overwhelming them. Numerous full-color and black-and-white photos of interest, a clean layout, and use of pastels to highlight headings and sidebars contribute to the attractiveness of these presentations. The color map and page of notes at the end of each volume will aid those in search of quick facts while detailed tables of contents and solid indexes provide easy access to the text.
