By examining a wide range of themes, including religion resources, history, politics, and current affairs, and the embarking on a country-by-country examination, The Middle East is an excellent companion to any discussion of current news or social and political events.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7–A concise overview of the history and culture of the region, defined as the countries of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the Gulf states, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. The text is brief but informative, and current political controversies are touched on in an age-appropriate and evenhanded manner. Go further… sidebars offer suggested readings, definitions, and museums. A chart with basic facts and statistics about each country is appended. However, the real strength of this book is the appealing graphic design and the excellent-quality color photographs throughout. This would be a good choice for middle graders or reluctant readers doing research on this subject, though students needing more in-depth information would be better served by individual titles in the Enchantment of the World series (Children's Press).–Kathleen E.

The Middle East,
By Abe green ""Nur"" (Glen Burnie, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kingfisher Knowledge: The Middle East (Hardcover)
I have read this book so many times in the past two years, and it is a great book about the Middle East( stretching from Egypt to Iran and from Turkey to Oman and Yemen)and the book tells different interesting facts about each country for example ( In Syria, nine out of ten people are of Arab Descent and speak Arabic, while their are also Armenian and Kurdish Communities in Syria) and about how in the Gulf States, the traditional people are now being outnumbered by immigrants from other parts of Asia in places like Qatar and The United Arab Emirates.
