Poland has maintained a rich cultural heritage despite suffering from invasions by strong neighbors on all sides and the effects of two World Wars. It has contributed the work of great scientists, poets, playwrights, composers, and musicians to Western Civilization. This book delves into Poland, discussing its history, development, economy and environment, and its place in the world today. All books of the critically-acclaimed Cultures of the World® series ensure an immersive experience by offering vibrant photographs with descriptive nonfiction narratives, and interactive activities such as creating an authentic traditional dish from an easy-to-follow recipe. Copious maps and detailed timelines present the past and present of the country, while exploration of the art and architecture help your readers to understand why diversity is the spice of Life.
