Celebrate
the richness and diversity of the United States of America in this exciting
series. Readers can explore the unique character of each state—its land
and waterways; its history; its government and economy; its festivals, cultural
diversity, landmarks, and exciting stories of success.
Celebrate
the States, second edition,
brings the series into the twenty-first century and updates the original titles
to reflect the changes that have gripped the state in the past five to ten
years. The second edition features a new design and all new photographs. Also
included is a new chart showing the breakdown of the state’s workforce and
two new maps. One shows the state divided by county, and the other presents the
population distribution. The structure has been slightly changed as well. While
the profiles of state luminaries remain in the back matter, the government and
economy are given expanded coverage, each in its own chapter.
