Four new countries and nine updated editions have been added to Bobbie Kalman's popular Lands, Peoples, and Cultures series. These powerful and intimate portraits of countries use up-to-date information and full-color photography. Presented in a mini series format, three books per country ensures thorough coverage of all the important aspects. It also allows more students to work on different projects at the same time. Covering more than basic history and geography, students will be fascinated to learn about:
-- the land... geography, agriculture, transportation, history, industry, and glorious wonders
-- the people... unique customs, customs we share, problems faced by minority groups and women
-- the culture... modern festivals, ancient processions, food, games, and more
Vietnam the land presents the natural beauty of this land's geographic regions from dense jungles to scenic beaches and follows its turbulent history under Chinese, French, and Japanese rule to its current recovery from the Vietnam War.
Topics include:
-- regions and climates
-- past and future
-- the Vietnamese war
