A look at any globe or map of the world and you’ll be struck by the enormity of this largest of continents. After a bird’s-eye view of the landforms and bodies of water that make up Asia, you’ll find yourself immersed in the extremely diverse regions of this continent. Here’s a small taste of what you’ll discover.
In East Asia, you’ll see the place where Longjing, Chinese tea, comes from; you’ll vicariously experience the highest mountain peak in the world; visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the Korean peninsula; and feel the intensity of Tokyo. In South Asia, you’ll visit the biggest mosque in the region as well as the jungles of northeast India, and the Taj Mahal.
There, you’ll also discover the Persian rugs made famous by the tales of One Thousand and One Nights. In Southeast Asia, you’ll discover the origin of Siamese cats, view a Vietnam water puppet show, visually taste the Philippines’s chocolate hills, and “decide” how to approach a Komodo dragon in Komodo National Park in Indonesia. In Western Asia, you’ll view the tiny strait that causes Turkey to straddle two continents – Europe and Asia. You’ll imagine what it’s like to make the desert bloom, in this case the Negev Desert in Israel. You’ll explore a 30,000-acre oasis in Saudi Arabia and vicariously climb a ziggurat, Iraq’s version of a pyramid. And in Central and North Asia, you’ll meet some of the “stans” – Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan – and explore the present and likely-future world of Siberia. Whether readers’ interests are science, history, geography, or mathematics, they will find their place in this unit on Asia.
