Description

Flags have always had the power to stir the imagination, unite - and divide - people. Learning about flags opens a window through which we can view other nations and cultures with more understanding. In Flags of the World, we cover the history of flags, how flags are used, colour, design and international organisations and their flags. The flags of countries around the world are included broken into the following regions: North America, Central America and the Caribbean; South America; Europe; Africa; Western and Southern Asia; Eastern and Southeast Asia; and Australia, New Zealand and Oceania.
