Annotation: Four new countries and nine updated editions have been added to Bobbie Kalman's popular Lands, Peoples, and Cultures series. These powerful and intimate portraits of countries use up-to-date information and full-color photography. Presented in a mini series format, three books per country ensures thorough coverage of all the important aspects. It also allows more students to work on different projects at the same time. Covering more than basic history and geography, students will be fascinated to learn about:

-- the land... geography, agriculture, transportation, history, industry, and glorious wonders

-- the people... unique customs, customs we share, problems faced by minority groups and women

-- the culture... modern festivals, ancient processions, food, games, and more

Take readers on a fascinating tour of Argentina from its near-tropical forest in the north and arid desert in the south to the lofty Andes mountains in the west. Glorious full-color photos show its breathtaking landscape and many wonders as well as its weather, plants, animals, farming, and industry.

Topics include:
-- from snowy peaks to jungle
-- mild and wild weather
-- people from many places
-- Buenos Aires and other cities
-- cattle ranching estancias and life on the range
-- industries, resources, plants, and wildlife
