(4) 4-6 Country Fact Files series. This broad overview touches on Sweden's people, industries, daily life, and environment, using color photographs, information boxes, and a dry "just the facts" prose style. Information about Sweden's history is superficially included. The book will be a boon to school-report writers; others may find the presentation busy. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) 4-6 Country Fact Files series. This busy country study is packed with information boxes, lots of facts and statistics, and unexceptional color photographs. The broad range of topics covered includes Bangladesh's people, natural resources, industry, and transportation. Problems of overpopulation, poverty, and an unstable government are discussed but somewhat downplayed in this flatly written but generally informative overview. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) 4-6 Country Fact Files series. REVIEW MISSING

Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta

(4) 4-6 Country Fact Files series. Because one volume features four individual South American nations and the other deals with seven Central American countries, the books are stretched a bit thin trying to accommodate the diversity of the various cultures, governments, and peoples. Fact boxes, adequate color photographs, and graphs are used to touch on topics such as geography, industry, and the environment. The writing is somewhat dry in both books. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) 4-6 Country Fact Files series. Readers who can look beyond an overly dry style will find a wealth of information in these books, each of which examines several African countries (Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, in 'East'; the countries of the Economic Community of the West African States in 'West'). Numerous color photographs, maps, and graphs supplement information on landscape, climate, resources, population, industry, and environment. Bib., glos., ind.

(3) 4-6 Country Fact Files series. In this fact-packed volume, Hodge offers a basic introduction to the island nations and dependencies of the Bahamas, Greater Antilles, and Lesser Antilles, focusing on their common colonial history and diverse cultures. Photographs, charts, graphs, and maps augment detailed textual information on geography, climate, natural resources, cultures, industry, and laws, making the volume a useful tool for school reports. Bib., glos., ind.

(3) 4-6 Country Fact Files series. Organized into eleven sections (including "The Landscape," "Natural Resources," "Population," "Daily Life," and "Trade and Industry"), this volume presents a broad but detailed overview of three western South American countries. Maps, charts, and diagrams include additional facts, while clearly reproduced full-color photos give readers a look at the landscape and peoples of these lands. Bib., glos., ind.
