Countries of the World series.
Tour book-like overviews of Peruvian and Costa Rican geography, history, and arts are followed by more intensive looks at subjects including major exports, archaeological sites, unique animals, and religious practices. Numerous sidebars and captions direct readers to different parts of the text and distract from the flow of information. Varied photos and a map illustrate the books. Bib., glos., ind.

Countries of the World series.
An introduction to Brazil provides fillips of information on its geography, history, people, language, religion, arts, and celebrations. The text sometimes seems patronizing, and some information included seems oddly chosen. Color photos appear on every page, and the book wraps up with a map and a list of quick facts. Bib., glos., ind.
