Uganda

Cultures of the World

by Robert Barlas, Jui Lin Yong (Contributor), Brett Griffin (Contributor)

Diversity is the spice of life, and the highly regarded Cultures of the World series celebrates just that in fully updated, and expanded editions. As has always been true of these outstanding titles, an abundance of vibrant photographs -- including those new to this edition -- stimulate the imaginations of young readers as they travel the globe. A new chapter on the environment focuses on politics and economics as well as on endangered species and the effects of industrialization. Additional authentic recipes add general interest while new maps offer further, easy-to-find facts in "About the Geography, " "About the Culture" and "About the Economy" sections.

Good overview, with color photos that touches on geography, government, history, life of the people, customs, festivals, foods and more. It provides an interesting starting point to learn more about Uganda and it's citizens. From 2010. Could use an update.

A great complement to the Blauer Uganda book, less holistic and more attentive to modern issues (e.g. environment)

We sponsor a child in Uganda so I recently read this book to learn more about their culture. Great book, easy read.
