Africa

by Malcolm Porter

With these mini-encyclopedias, young researchers get a broad and accessible overview of the world's continents and the major countries they comprise. Geographical maps blend relief and topographical information. Additional two-page maps represent people and beliefs, climate and vegetation, ecology and environment, the economy, and politics and history. Original maps, illustrations, and information panels offer an up-close view of the African continent, its nations and territories, and the islands of the Indian Ocean.
