Summary:
"Welcome to Russia--home of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, Lake Baikal, and the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Informative, easy-to-read text and oversize scenic photos draw in readers as they learn about Russia's history, government, major cities, land features, natural resources, culture, and more! Maps, a timeline with photos, and a facts page that includes major statistics complement the text."-- Adapted from publisher's website.
