Libya - Paperback

One of the largest countries in Africa, Libya is nearly covered by the Saharan desert. Without water sources in much of the dry, hot interior, the people who live there have had to come up with creative solutions throughout its long history. This book introduces readers to the history and geography of Libya, as well as its modern festivals, arts, and pastimes. Readers will be able to make connections between Libya's past and present, and will gain a deep understanding of how its geography affects peoples' ways of life. Eye-catching photographs and high-interest text will engage young readers as they explore Libya.
