Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The country of Papua New Guinea has a diverse landscape filled with incredible animals and plant life. With thick rain forests and beautiful mountains, it is a tropical paradise. The people are as varied as the lands. In fact, the country is home to the greatest language diversity in the world. Modern pressures on one of the last nations to maintain a tribal life lend to a complex culture trying to preserve the beauty of the land while growing and prospering as a nation. Allow readers to explore the incredible landscape, the vast diversity, and the rich culture of Papua New Guinea in this exciting, informative book.
