About this item

The third series of America the Beautiful is back in a revised edition. The books in this series are bursting with fascinating facts, updated statistics, and brand-new full-color photographs. America the Beautiful's dynamic design and editorial approach to the geography, history, people, economy, and government of each state will continue to make this award-winning series the one that students turn to first for researching school assignments. Not quite an independent nation, yet not quite a state, either, Puerto Rico enjoys a unique relationship with the United States. Readers will learn how Puerto Rico was first settled and how it came to be a part of the United States. They will also learn about its rich cultural heritage and how its people live today.
