ALA Booklist (Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 CDT 2016)

With stunning, high-quality photos that reflect the richness of cultures around the globe, the Enchantment of the World series earns its name. Each title gives a thorough overview of a country, highlighting its geography, flora and fauna, government, economy, religions, arts and entertainment, and sports and pastimes. Chapters on the history of each nation and its peoples reveal struggles (some still ongoing), triumphs, and the diverse traditions that helped shape it. Switzerland explains the country's role in the Protestant Reformation, its history of political neutrality, and its success in industry and trade. Numerous maps and charts and concluding "Fast Facts" round out the series, making it complete for country reports.
