Turkey

Turkey is diverse-a republican parliamentary democracy with 550 members in its Turkish Grand National Assembly, a population of nearly 66 million, a land mass of over 301,000 square miles divided into 80 provinces￯﾿ﾽand yet in some ways, quite simple. This book presents pertinent facts that students can absorb, compare/contrast to their own country and put in a world perspective. Divided into four sections (Overview, A Closer Look, Relations with North America, and For More Information), this 98-page book is filled with color pictures and straightforward text. Geography, history, government, economy, tourism, agriculture, culture, family life, education, religion, language, literature, the arts, sports and food are covered. Current challenges for the Turkish people are also touched on￯﾿ﾽthe Kurdish question, the dispute over Cyprus, earthquake devastation, soil erosion, terrorist activities and admittance to the European Union. The glossary is divided into Turkish and English sections. As of April
