Summary:
In our age of globalization and multiculturalism, it has never been more important to appreciate all cultures and how people live and learn in areas of the world unfamiliar to most US students. These volumes take a step forward in this endeavour by presenting information on those regions likely to be most 'foreign' to US students.
