New Database - World Cultures Today

World Cultures Today introduces users to the lives of their contemporaries around the globe. Its focus is outward, moving beyond the daily life of people in the United States today, to explore in detail the rich differences and surprising similarities of cultures other than our own. What do people in Argentina eat? What is voodoo? For questions on dating customs in Indonesia to leisure time in Kenya, World Cultures Today provides the answers. Thematic organization makes studying a wealth of topics - history, arts, food, clothing, lifestyle, religion, family life, geography, holidays, language, worldview - simple and effective.
