DISCOVERING AFRICA
COUNTRY STUDIES
Africa, the cradle of mankind, is full of diverse and
exotic attractions, being a continent of extraordinary
beauty and endless fascination. Despite many
lingering problems on the continent, much progress
has been made. Africa has much to offer, from
beautiful natural wonders to exotic wildlife to
extensive mineral resources, including oil, gold,
diamonds, and copper. With positive forces for
change, these all could see Africa emerge as a power
to be reckoned with, in much the same way that India
and China have risen to the fore in recent years. The
titles in this series introduce the reader to Africa and
explore the people and many wonders found within
all regions of the continent. Come Discover Africa
