This outstanding series provides concise and lively introductions to countries and the major development issues they face. Packed full of factual information, photographs and maps, the guides also focus on ordinary people and the impact that historical, economic and environmental issues have on their lives.

Industry Reviews

"In about 20 short chapters, accompanied by black-and-white photos, the book covers a number of historical, cultural, political, and economic topics about the country, with a particular emphasis on how events affect the lives of ordinary Ethiopians. The conclusion to the 1995 section states, 'The last few years of the twentieth century will see the re-birth of Ethiopia, or its return to civil war and despair.' As is noted in the chapter of updates, continued poor economic development, a 1998 war with Eritrea, and undiminished AIDS crisis mean that the people of Ethiopia still face tremendous challenges."--Multicultural Review
