This volume provides an overview of the history of Greece, while
also focusing on contemporary Greece. Coverage includes such
21st-century challenges as the economic crisis and the influx of
immigrants and refugees that is changing the country's character.
This latest volume in the Understanding Modern Nations series
explores Greece, the birthplace of democracy and Western
philosophical ideas. This thematic encyclopedia is one-of-its kind
in its down-to-earth approach and comprehensive analysis of complex
issues now facing Greece. It analyzes such topics as government and
economics without jargon and brings a lighthearted approach to
chapters on such topics as etiquette (e.g., what gestures to avoid
so as not to offend), leisure (how Greeks celebrate holidays), and
language (the meaning of "opa"). No other book on Greece is
organized like this thematic encyclopedia, which has more than 200
entries on topics ranging from Archimedes to refugees. Unique to
this encyclopedia is a "Day in the Life" section that explores the
actions and thoughts of a high school student, a bank employee, a
farmer in a small village, and a retired couple, giving readers a
vivid snapshot of life in Greece. "Day in the Life" features
portray the specific daily activities of various people in Greece,
from teenagers to working adults in different fields, thereby
providing readers with insight into daily life in the country Key
terms related to the reading are defined in a Glossary appendix A
chart of national holidays provides at-a-glance information about
Greece's important religious and secular holidays Photos and
sidebars illuminate the text, helping to illustrate key topics and
allow students to dive more deeply into ideas Sidebars provide fun
facts and anecdotal information that help to engage readers
