paragraph describing some aspect of the culture. Fascinating content. Great jumping-off points for further reading and research on the country. Great for seeding the imagination with concrete images of real people, to help make map-studies come alive, and to help inspire travel planning.

Highly recommended. I only wish they had more countries in the series. Show Less
