Four new countries and nine updated editions have been added to Bobbie Kalman's popular Lands, Peoples, and Cultures series. These powerful and intimate portraits of countries use up-to-date information and full-color photography. Presented in a mini series format, three books per country ensures thorough coverage of all the important aspects. It also allows more students to work on different projects at the same time. Covering more than basic history and geography, students will be fascinated to learn about:
-- the land... geography, agriculture, transportation, history, industry, and glorious wonders
-- the people... unique customs, customs we share, problems faced by minority groups and women
-- the culture... modern festivals, ancient processions, food, games, and more
A strong connection between people and nature is at the heart of traditional beliefs in Nigeria. This exciting new book introduces children to the religions, festivals, clothing, music, language, arts, and crafts of this culturally diverse nation.

An Introduction to the Theory of Elasticity
This introductory volume offers upper-level undergraduates a perspective based on modern developments that also takes into account the limited mathematical tools that students are likely to have at their disposal. It also places special emphasis on areas that students often find difficult upon first encounter, providing an accessible guide that will instill a firm foundation for more advanced study. The topics covered include a general discussion of deformation and stress, the derivation of the equations of finite elasticity with some exact solutions, and the formulation of infinitesimal elasticity with application to some two- and three-dimensional static problems and elastic waves. Answers to examples appear at the end of the book. 1980 ed. 256pp. 53/8 x 81/2.

Italian Regionalism: History, Identity and Politics by Carl Levy, ISBN 1859731562
The debate on Italian regionalism has received renewed impetus from the disintegration of the First Republic and the emergence of the Northern League. In this important study, leading scholars of Italian history, politics, sociology and linguistics examine the nature of Italian regionalism since the formation of the modern Italian nation state. This is the first English-language book to explore the Italian concept of regionalism in all its ramifications.
Topics include: the nature and problems of Italian regionalism in context; the historical background of the period up to 1945; critical overviews of regionalism since the establishment of the Republic; the relationship between dialect, language and Italian regionalism; and an examination of the origins of the Northern Leagues, their growing power, and their contribution to the crisis of the Republic.
