Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-High-quality, full-color photography combines with clearly written text and meaningful sidebars to create informative and attractive overviews of modern life in other countries. The chapters are well organized and include the most sought-after material for reports such as history, geography, government, economy, society, and religions. They also cover food, festivals, the arts, and leisure activities. Topographical and political maps are clear with map indexes and keys. A "Quick Notes" page, bibliography, and glossary are appended. Both volumes emphasize the influence of geographic location on a country's socioeconomic status. Yemen includes much detail about Arabic culture and the Muslim influence on the area. Mongolia is shown as an interesting blend of the cultures of Asia. Both books provide students with lively and accurate pictures of these modern nations.
