摘要
This series presents diverse countries of the world and their peoples. Each volume examines the country's history and geography but also features the kinds of people who comprise the nation, their language, religions, class structures and both rural and city life-styles. School life, recreation and sports as well as arts and cultures are featured, making this a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment.

Gr 5-8It is difficult to find accurate, intelligent information about countries of the world written on an appropriate level for this audience These titles will not fill the void. Sweeping generalizations and patronizing statements can be found throughout both books, e.g., "In China, where people live at very close quarters, children are taught to be cooperative." "Canada is a king-size country." Other statements are misleading, e.g., "Under a communist system, individuals are not permitted to own private property or to work for personal gain" (China). "Canadians have never paid much attention to basketball." Readers with limited knowledge of these countries could take such inaccurate statements as gospel. One of the numerous full-color photos in Canada depicts "Canadian Navajo and Hopi Indian teenagers...." This caption is highly misleading since neither tribe is native to Canada. Canada: A Portrait (published biennially by Statistics Canada) is a better choice.Lucinda Lockwood, Thomas Haney Secondary School, Maple Ridge, BC (c) Copyright 2010.

An overview of the world's second largest country explores Canada's history, culture, and the diversity of its citizens. The clear text includes information on the serious possibility of Quebec's separating from the country, and reports on Nunavut, Canada's new Inuit territory. The book also contains appealing color photographs showcasing the festivals and winter sports enjoyed in the North. Bib., glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
