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 4-8-Accessible, informative titles. Each volume includes a wealth of information on topics ranging from history and geography to ethnic groups and arts and religion accompanied by beautiful color photographs. The revisions contain updated information about population and politics; a chapter about environmental concerns, which discusses pollution, environmental protection, and endangered species; plus dozens of new photographs. The sections on food now include recipes. In addition to the geopolitical map, both books also contain economic and cultural maps. A favorable new feature in each book is the time line that delineates what was happening in the country under discussion and in the rest of the world at certain dates.
