West African Kingdoms

(4) 4-6 Time Travel Guides series. This book, written as a travel guide to West Africa ("tropical diseases can ruin even the best-planned vacation") primarily from the sixth through nineteenth centuries, is a bit drier and more sparse than others in the series. Its rapidly shifting focus among kingdoms can be confusing. However, the format still provides an engaging and creative approach to the subject. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
