(3) YA Cultures of the World series. These books look at two different Islamic countries, Bahrain in the Persian Gulf and Maldives, south of India. Both are archipelagos, and the influence of their geographical formations is well described, including the effect of global warming on Maldives. Cultural and religious traditions are delineated, and contemporary life is a major focus. Crisp photos, a recipe, a map, and a fact page in each book are useful features. Bib., glos., ind.
