About this title

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

Taken from Chapter 6: East, West and South Europe The countries of Europe have many different cultures and customs, but they also have a lot in common. Greek and Roman civilizations influenced European ideas of art, philosophy, and law. Christianity is a shared religion. Centuries of trade and industry helped build up great cities, such as Rome and Paris. In this century, two world wars shattered the entire continent, and the rivalry between capitalist and communist systems of government split in two. Recently, western European countries have joined together to form the European Union to increase peace and prosperity.

Review:

This highly visual book contains up-tp-date maps, illustrations, photographs, data files, national flags, a gazetteer and index and well written text for every country in the world, all of which will appeal to the intended audience. It will prove a valuable resource. . . -- Resource links, Feb., 1999
