Description
The study of world cultures is an important part of education today, and these accessible Peoples of the World volumes provide more in-depth coverage than encyclopedia-type sources, which are typically limited to giving statistics on various countries. The set focuses on the development of cultures and how they came to be the way they are today.
Each volume in the set also provides an introduction to the continent or area, a glossary, maps and illustrations, bibliographies and a subject index.
