Review Quotes: The history and culture of our country, from their geologic formations to the contemporary politics, are profiled in this series. Information about holidays and food are taken off the page with the inclusion of recipes readers can try at home. Travel-focused information, such as natural wonders to see, is combined with depictions of daily life in the countries today. The diversity of art, from photographs to illuminated manuscripts to scientific diagrams, will keep readers guessing about what the next page will bring in these interdisciplinary volumes. VERDICT Public libraries will find the fact pages and historical information one expects from geography titles with just a lagniappe of something special in each one to connect to the reader.--Liz Bosarge, Enoch Pratt Free Library, MD "School Library Journal"
