Annotation: Four new countries and nine updated editions have been added to Bobbie Kalman's popular Lands, Peoples, and Cultures series. These powerful and intimate portraits of countries use up-to-date information and full-color photography. Presented in a mini series format, three books per country ensures thorough coverage of all the important aspects. It also allows more students to work on different projects at the same time. Covering more than basic history and geography, students will be fascinated to learn about:

-- the land... geography, agriculture, transportation, history, industry, and glorious wonders

-- the people... unique customs, customs we share, problems faced by minority groups and women

-- the culture... modern festivals, ancient processions, food, games, and more

The daily lives of the Greek people in both ancient and modern times are explored in interesting detail. Special sections describe a typical day in ancient times -- the gathering at the agora or market, the traditional work men, women, and slaves performed during the day, and how only boys were educated.

Topics include:
-- life in the busy cities, the hilly countryside, and on the sunny islands
-- the modern Greek family and different kinds of homes
-- the changing role of women
-- the Greek language and the importance of school and work
-- sports and pastimes
