An interesting intro to Japan

"Japan," by Tamara L. Britton, is a basic book about the nation of Japan. It is richly illustrated with many photographs (both color and black-and-white). It includes maps, an index, a glossary, and other supplements. There is a chart of "fast facts" (ex. population, highest elevation, mining products, etc.) and a historic timeline.Topics covered include history, geography, plant and animal life, ethnic groups, the school system, government structure, theater traditions, and more. My only complaint is that the book should have included more on Japan's remarkable language and complex writing system. But that aside, it's a solid reference work.
