People And Places: A Visual Encyclopedia invites curious, school‑aged readers to explore the diverse cultures that shape our world. This fully updated DK encyclopedia of people and cultures delivers a worldwide tour—from Spaniards to Samoans, and the Miao to the Miskitu—through vivid photography and bite‑sized facts. Suitable for children, families, and students, the tone is educational, respectful, and adventurous as it reveals how people live, work, and celebrate across continents and islands. Designed as a visual journey, this edition combines clear entries with striking photography and concise captions. Each spread blends geography with culture, helping readers see how language, tradition, dress, and daily life connect people across the globe.
