” The large type, the overall layout, and especially the many apt & vivid color photographs are compelling. Mexico is a land of contrasts rich in culture and natural beauty, though millions of its citizens live in poverty and squalid conditions. Mexico features bustling cities & sleepy rural towns; arid deserts, sandy beaches, and forested mountain ranges; the crumbling remains of ancient civilizations & new manufacturing facilities that utilize 21st-century technology. Mexico and the United States are more than just neighbors; the two countries have strong economic ties, and millions of Mexicans have emigrated to the United States seeking jobs and greater opportunities. This new 16-book series provides a wealth of information for students on this major country of Latin America. — VOYA ” Sidebars, glossaries, and reading comprehension questions & research suggestions supplement the texts.…beautiful color photos, relevant sidebars throughout...All of the books are illustrated with a number of clear, color photos with informative captions…useful for students focusing on specific topics. — School Library Journal “
