Gr 7-10-These series titles offer representative overviews of each country's culture, history, geography, government, and economy. They are competently written and contain current information. The texts are clear but the level of vocabulary is quite high, which might prove challenging for less competent readers. Visually, the books are quite impressive, with full-color photographs, maps, tables, and graphs distributed throughout. Similar in content and quality to the "Modern World Nations" series (Chelsea House) and "Cultures of the World" series (Benchmark), these volumes offer little that is new, but stand equally well with others of the genre.-Robyn Walker, Elgin Court Public School, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
