An authentic and up-to-date picture of Poland today.
In 1989, forty years of Communist rule in Poland came to an end. Since then, great changes have taken place and soon it is expected that Poland will become part of the European Union. These changes have been challenging for the people of Poland. There may be food in the supermarkets and greater wealth and freedom for many Poles, but some still want a return to the 'old days' when everyone had a job, there was little crime and prices were cheap.
Meet the people of Poland and learn about the diversity of their lives, from a bicycle activist in Cracow to a singer in a rock band. Includes maps and graphic panels showing statistics and fact boxes about size, flag, population, religion, currency and language.
'The Changing Face Of' series offers first-hand insight into how countries are changing to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Each title is filled with information and statistics about key geographical themes. Specially commissioned interviews give you a real sense of how people view the past, present and future of their home country.
