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. Tibet emphasizes this nation's long and continuing fight for independence from Chinese control, the selection of the Dalai Lama, and the Dalai Lama's role in the fight for freedom. Numerous maps and charts and concluding "Fast Facts" round out the series, making it complete for country reports.
