Steadwell Books World Tour series.
These overviews, illustrated with small color photos and maps, provide brief but varied information about geography, government, people, religion, history, and current events in these countries. The tour-guide tone can be irritating, but the books are adequate resources for report writers. The introductory tips on using the table of contents, index, and glossary are a welcome addition. "People to Know," "Quick facts," reading list. [Review covers these Steadwell Books World Tour titles: Philippines, Korea, and Thailand.]
