North America (Continents)

Taking the reader on a journey across the breadth of one of the world's greatest landmasses, this book focuses on North America. It describes landforms, weather, resources, how people work and spend their leisure time, international relations, movement of peoples, the economy of the continent, and its politics and cultures. Collected data on each country with its area, population, languages, capital city and currency, as well as a description of its flag is given in a brief, information-packed annual section. This book is one of a series which intends to work in two ways, by allowing students to find out about and compare individual countries and put those countries into a continental context.
