A valuable resource, ideal for students doing research or general readers interested in knowing more about Greece, both its current state and its history. - Library Journal
There's more to Greece than its legacy as the birthplace of democracy and Western Philosophy. Discover what life is like in this contemporary European nation. Thematic chapters examine topics such as government and politics, history, food, etiquette, education, gender, marriage and sexuality, media and popular culture, music, art, and more. Each chapter opens with a general overview of the topic and is followed by alphabetically arranged entries that home in even closer on the topic. Sidebars and illustrations appear throughout the text, and appendixes cover a glossary, facts and figures, holidays chart, and vignettes that paint a picture of a typical Day in the Life.1 different editions
