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

After being ruled by the czars for five hundred years, Russia experienced its most dramatic changes only in the past century. The largest country in the world is vividly portrayed from its history and many peoples to its wintry landscape and changing economy.

Topics include:
-- the largest country in the world
-- Russia's diverse peoples
-- plants, animals, and beautiful Lake Baikal
-- from czars to the Soviet Union
-- life in the city
-- farming, fishing, and a changing economy
-- transportation and Russians in space
