4-6Searchlight Books: Do You Know the Continents? series.
This boilerplate series provides basic information about the continent it covers in serviceable but generic prose. The author aims to encapsulate Africa's cultural and geographical diversity but succeeds in only the most cursory way. Brief chapters provide information on countries and cities, climate, landforms, natural resources, people, cultures, and economics. Colorful stock photos, maps, and sidebars appear throughout. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
