From School Library Journal:
Grade 6-8–This valuable series discusses migration within and between countries and touches upon many reasons for, and aspects and effects of, it. Migration covers such topics as globalization, climate change, and the history of human dispersal. Among the chapters in Cultural Landscapes are some on Cultural Superiority, Preservation, Protection, & Isolation, and Integration and Assimilation. Since so much is covered, the texts can be a little choppy at times, and the many accompanying photos are sometimes superfluous, but the multiple perspectives offered make the books worthwhile purchases despite the minor problems.
