Description
This book is suitable for children of ages 9-14. "Iran: The Land" brings to life the country previously known to the world for centuries as Persia. Beautiful full-colour photographs feature Iran's dramatic landscape of mountains, salt deserts, and hot springs as well as the daily lives of its people who must cope with dust storms, earthquakes, and even volcanoes. Other topics include: how people obtain water in the desert; ancient site of Persepolis, or Takht-e Jamshid, and the treasures buried there; oases and highlands; the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Shiraz; the country's wildlife including ibexes, gazelles, and jackals; the discovery of oil and its impact on the Iranian economy.
