These six new titles are part of a 24-volume set that covers each country's history, peoples, government, economy and trade, geography and resources, lifestyle and culture, and present-day issues and role in the world. Maps, charts, graphs, tables, and time lines support the text and teach students how to understand information presented in a variety of formats.
