Brazil

The country's best-known sights, including the vast Amazon rainforest, the Christ the Redeemer statue, and the celebrations of Carnival, open this introduction to Brazil. Written in plain, accessible language and illustrated with large landscape photographs, the book explains the country's past and how its government operates. It also covers its major cities, varied landforms, natural resources, and cultural traditions, among other topics.

Maps, a timeline with photographs, and a page of key statistics about the country support the text. The book is aligned with Common Core standards and correlated to state standards.
