Kazakhstan gained its independence with the fall of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1991. It is the world's ninth largest country, yet most people draw a mental blank when it is mentioned. Its location, physical landscapes, its people and their way of life, and the history of this vast land are a mystery to most. This information-packed volume provides a comprehensive overview of the nation's people, geography, history, government, economy, and culture, with full-colour illustrations and full-colour maps throughout. A fantastic history book for children to learn more about this spectacular country. This hardback book has 108 pages and measures: 24 x 17 x 1cm.
