All volumes contain colorful illustrations, maps, and up-to-date boxed
information of a statistical character, and each is accompanied by a chronology, a
glossary, a bibliography, selected Internet resources, and an index. Students and

and reports contained in each country study, and they will want to prepare the tasty
traditional dishes described in each volume’s recipe section.
