Part of the publisher's "Cultures of the World" series, this information-packed book carries the reader to the only land-locked country in Southeast Asia. Chapters divide the content in a fairly traditional manner, into Geography, History, Lifestyle, Religion, and so on. Photographs add richness to the text, as do maps, quick notes on geographical and political facts, a glossary, a bibliography, and an index. An interesting presentation of a fascinating place and its many cultures. This series includes an array of titles from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
