Cultures of the World

by Lily Rose R. Tope, Detch P Nonan-Mercado (Contributor), Jui Lin Yong (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.

I learned a lot about a little known part of the world. There are many influences there from native, Chinese, Malay, Spanish, Japanese, and American. The food sounds bad. I don't like rice and the delicacies sound ghastly, for example, a duck egg with the duckling inside. (Yuck) I am not that adventurous.
