Review:

"In our shrinking world, it's important for students to acquire knowledge of global customs. This comparative, four-volume guide can help provide such knowledge. This set of reference sources is intended for middle and high school students, but teachers at lower levels will also want to use it as a resource. Highly Recommended."
