SEC: Individual books on countries

[SARAH PECKHAM <speckham@MARIAN.CREIGHTON.EDU>]

Our first year language curriculum for 9th grade students involves research
of individual countries. I have Culturgrams and Gale's Worldmark
Encyclopedia of Cultures and Daily life. Other series of books on
individual countries, such as Cultures of the World Benchmark Books are
more for the 5th-8th grade age group. I am looking at individual travel
guides for countires, but often the small pocket size of the books isn't
the best for library editions. Any suggestions of series on countries you
have purchased for this age level? Have you purchased Travel Guides like
Frommers for each individual country? One source book on countries in South
America obviously doesn't work for a class of students. Students do use
internet sources as well, but I am interested in adding print. Thanks.
