In this complete compendium of the world’s flags, each nation’s flag is paired with facts and tidbits of history. These flags provide a window into the histories, values, and cultures of countries around the world. Waving in the wind, a flag may not seem like a code. But hidden in the stripes, stars, suns, moons, and colors of the world’s flags are the keys to understanding different countries’ shared histories and cherished ideals. Flags do much more than identify countries and groups of people. In every color, pattern, and design, the citizens and governments of countries announce their allegiances and herald their history. If you know what to look for, a flag can reveal major insights into another country’s history and culture.

Lisa Strattin is writing her World Geography: Flags of the World Series. she continues with Africa, Vol 2.OverviewIn Lisa's second book of her Flags of the World Series, she includes pictures, geographic locations and capital cities of countries and territories in Africa. Unlike other Flags Picture Books on the market today, Lisa has worked hard to include all of the countries and territories she could, instead of just focusing on the most well-known. This allows you to get a better view of the world's flags!To help your child or grandchild recognize that there are many flags of different countries, she has included 46 different representations of the countries and territories of Africa.A couple of these nations don't have their own national flag. They are listed because they are considered a separate country or territory in their own right, even though they raise the flag of their governing country.Creating the BookIn compiling these images of flags around the world, Lisa has been impressed by the designs of the World's flags. You will find them intriguing as well when you notice the items a nation has chosen to include in their banner.We all know the significance of items on our own country's flag. For example, as a citizen of the United States, Lisa knows that the red and white stripes represent the first 13 colonies of the United States and the 50 stars represent the 50 states.It is evident to see, in the many country flags of the World, that every nation has a reason for the items included in the design of their own banner.This is Africa-Vol 2 and includes all of the Africa flags that Lisa has been able to find. Coming soon will be: Asia-Vol 3, Europe-Vol 4, Oceania-Vol 5, South America-Vol 6, and the World-Vol 7, which includes the total of Volumes 1-6 in one complete compilation.In the final complete Flags of the World, World-Vol 7, Lisa hopes that every country in the World is represented as every flag in the World should be included, as noted by country and/or territory.There will be future volumes as Lisa works to include all flags in the World by compiling her State Flag editions. In this Africa-Vol 2 Edition, you will find:AlgeriaAngolaBeninBotswanaBurkina FasoBurundiCameroonCape VerdeCentral African RepublicChadComorosCongoCongo, BrazzavilleCote d'IvoireDjiboutiEgyptEquatorial GuineaEritreaEthiopiaGabonThe GambiaGhanaGuineaGuinea-BissauKenyaLesothoLiberiaLibyaMadagascarMalawiMaliMauritaniaMauritiusMoroccoMozambiqueNamibiaNigerNigeriaRwandaSao Tome and PrincipeSenegalSeychellesSierra LeoneSomaliaSouth AfricaSudanSouth SudanSwazilandTogoTunisiaUgandaZambiaZimbabwe

This is the first book created primarily for the field identification of parrots, one of the most familiar and colorful groups of birds. From the mighty macaws to the diminutive pygmy parrots, the 350 species of parrots include cockatoos, parakeets, lovebirds, and Budgerigar. Most are brightly colored or even gaudy, but a few are drab, and some are nocturnal and flightless. Parrots, found throughout most of the warmer regions of the world, occur in greatest numbers in Australasia and South America. This book includes 88 superb color illustrations of every species and most identifiable subspecies of parrot, as well as range maps of their locations. It offers many first-hand insights into the ecology of each species, vocalizations, life cycle characteristics, and geographical variation. It also provides up-to-date information on the conservation status of those species of parrots that are threatened or endangered.

It is a far too common thing for a person to know nothing of the world outside their own nation's borders. However, this sad commonality can be curbed at a young age with the purchase of a "Flags of the World" coloring book. As a child colors, they realize that there are countries other than their own. This realization will hopefully lead them to question the world. With any luck, they will grow with a desire to explore other countries.
