Spotlight on South Africa introduces readers to this vast country, from Table Mountain to the dry veldt, or grassland, where elephants, lions, and other wildlife live in protected parks. With the defeat of apartheid - the laws that limited the rights of black people - the future is much brighter for South Africans of all races. The daily lives and family traditions of the mix of people and cultures that make up South Africa today are highlighted. A special section features the joyful celebration of the World Cup of soccer held in South Africa in 2010.

Spotlight on South Africa - Children's Literature

Spotlight on South Africa has eye catching and informative photographs of nature, people and artifacts. This is a great research book for students and readers interested in world geography because the book is comprehensive in describing life in South Africa from its’ location, famous people, animals, agriculture, population, economics, and overall culture. The layout of the book is very well organized and makes for easy reading. Just enough information is given about each topic to create interest and provide important facts, yet it is not too overbearing or weighty in any specific area of information.
