Welcome to My Country series.
The books in this series provide cursory overviews of these European countries. Topics covered include education, agriculture, history, economy, sports, art, and topography. Though not in-depth, the books do provide a starting point for report writers. Maps, clear photos, and lists of related websites are included. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Welcome to My Country titles: Welcome to Swedon, Welcome to Scotland, Welcome to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Welcome to the Netherlands, and Welcome to Finland.]

Countries of the World series.
Each tour book-like volume begins with a country overview and continues with topics of particular interest in that country. Bosnia examines the impact of the recent war; Portugal recounts religious customs such as the cult of Fatima and the Festival of Trays; Finland looks at saunas and winter sports. Numerous captions detract from the flow of the text. Color photos and a map illustrate the books. Bib., glos., ind.
