• Liberia

• Author Debra Miller
• Published by Lucent Books

Liberia, founded by freed American slaves in 1847, has suffered for more than a decade from a civil war that has separated families, created refugees, and destroyed the country's economy. This book explores Liberia's history, resources, culture, and future challenges.

Review:

"The book details the country's climate, geography, agriculture, industry, daily life in both rural and urban areas, and arts and culture. The book features maps, black-and-white photographs, and special boxes...The book's final pages offer a set of facts-at-a-glance, a detailed chronology, an annotated bibliography including works for both children and adults, an annotated list of works consulted (including web sites), and an index."
