Review by School Library Journal Grade 4-8 - Covering Mexico's land, history and government, people, culture, and economy, this revision of the 1988 edition has a plethora of information. The old edition is definitely outdated with a hodgepodge of tiny black-and-white photos along with a few in drab colors. Full-color photos, maps, and drawings enhance this new text. The look is far more appealing, and the back matter is an excellent source of precise facts. Additions to this section include a time line beginning in 12,000 B.C.E. and ending in 2002, fast facts, currency, the flag, national anthem, famous people, sights to see, a glossary of words not defined in the text, and a lengthy index. The older edition contains only an index. It's time to replace the earlier version with this upbeat, current look at Mexico that is perfectly suited for reports.
From back cover:
The new, completely reviwsed and redesigned second edition of the highly acclaimed Visual Geography Series reveals the history and government, economy, people, geography, and cultural life of countries around the world. Each web-enhanced edition includes comprehensive text, beautiful full-color photography throughout, and interesting, detailed sidebars. Perfect for writing reports, for finding fast facts, and for intriguing geography buffs, the Visual Geography Series takes you on a fascinating trip around the world (passport not included).
New features include:
- Up-to-date text and statistics
- A list of famous people and sights to see
- An annotated bibliography and glossary
- New reading lists and websites
- Country flag, national anthem, timeline, and more!
- Web site for up-to-the-minute geographic, demographic, cultural, and economic information, as well as late-breaking news!
