Content:
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 ensure 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. Archaeologists have traced the long history of the people of Nigeria back 2,000 years. This new book details its people from the early powerful kingdoms to enslavement and colonization by the Europeans, to independence. Candid photographs help show what life is like today at home, at school, in the workplace, and in the cities and villages. Topics include: journey through time -- home to many people -- village and city life -- a variety of homes -- food and markets -- school days -- sports and leisure.
