By looking alternately at a city and a small town, each volume provides a glimpse of what homes, schools, jobs, and other aspects of life are like in these two European countries.

Color photographs illustrate the books. Bib., glos., ind.

The textbook-like format, which includes maps and boxed inserts, features basic information on climate, government, living conditions, and other standard topics. Bib., glos., ind.
