Publisher's Synopsis
The way a home is constructed can be determined by the climate conditions, the amount of people living in it, and what materials are available in an area. As readers are exposed to different living environments of people around the world, they develop an expanded worldview. They also learn to compare and contrast their homes with those of people in other countries. Captivating, full-color photographs, insightful fact boxes, and a detailed glossary provide extra insight for readers looking to take a trip around the world with each turn of the page.
