Summary:

The Understanding Modern Nations series profiles individual nations that are of interest to high school students and undergraduates, focusing on countries that are often studied in school as well as countries that have made major headlines in recent years. With coverage of topics such as geography, history, politics and government, economy, society, ethnicity, religion, culture, social media, pop culture, sports, and personal accounts of daily life, these volumes serve as ideal resources for students of geography, social studies, anthropology, political science, and more. General overviews of each topic provide students with a basic foundation on the subject, and entries pertaining to the topic-such as biographies of significant people in the field, iconic events, and key ideas-follow each overview. Sidebars and photos, facts and figures that are integral to better understanding the countries, a glossary of key terms, and a holidays chart round out the coverage in each of these accessible, engaging volumes.
