Taken from Chapter 12: Mexicans at work With such a huge population, Mexico's best resource is its people! One third of all Mexicans work on the land as farmers. Many people fish in the country's lakes and coastal waters, using modern and traditional methods. Some Mexicans are doctors, scientists and teachers. Others are writers, actors and artisans. Factories are filled with men and women who manufacture high-tech items such as television sets and automobiles. No matter what their occupation, Mexicans have a reputation for being hard workers.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-5-There are some changes in these updated versions of the 1993 titles-increases in population, highways and railroad tracks are noted, and many pictures have been replaced-but the revisions are not significant. Culture highlights the arts, music, dance, legends, holidays, cooking, sports, and language. Land is a mixed bag-true to its title, it delves into geography, earthquakes, volcanoes, and resources, but it also speaks of illegal immigration into the U.S. and problems between the rich and the poor. People focuses on aspects of daily lives. There is overlap among the books-all three have very similar sections on Mexico's ancient cultures. Culture and People have some repetition dealing with religion and holidays. Nevertheless, the photos are bright and clear, the texts are readable, and the length of the books makes them a less formidable resource for research projects than many reference books.
