— Library Media Connection With well-written text and clear colorful photographs, maps, & graphics, this updated series would be welcome in any library where students are looking for current information about Africa...The authors are experts in their field, and each volume contains unique information on some very heavy subjects. These works could be utilized for reports in Social Studies & world geography classes or for teachers to use for text analysis within the Common Core curriculum. AFRICA IS A COMPLEX & DIVERSE CONTINENT, AND ITS MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES provide a study in contrasts: democracy & despotism, immense wealth and crushing poverty, modernism and traditionalism, peaceful communities & raging civil wars. The books take a close look at many of the major issues in Africa today, such as AIDS, poverty, government corruption, ethnic & religious tension, educational opportunities, and overcrowding. ”
