…the many topics included—everything fromhistory, arts and sports,
and the importance of geography—are well-handled. Small computer
icons hip up the layout with asides into karaoke, school uniforms, and
more. The stock color photos are appealing, and best are the questions
that end each chapter, some text-based, others for potential research
projects, both excellent starting points for the study of Japan.

“Centore and Perritano break vocabulary-rich diction into relatively
brief sentences…Excellent color photography combine with sepia-toned
images that float beneath text - another instance of adding substance
without overwhelming the reader. Aworthy purchase for middle grades,
low-ability upper grades, and even precocious fifth graders, Major Nations
in a Global World offers rich content in an accessible and functional
format.”
