This work is intended for children aged 9-14 years. Iran has been home to a diverse mix of conquering peoples over thousands of years. This colourful book shows how the people of Iran have retained their traditions since the Cultural Revolution of 1979, despite pressures of modernisation from the rest of the world. Full-colour images and fascinating information help depict the vibrant people who live in this ancient land. Other topics include: early settlement by Aryan invaders; rule by Alexander the Great of Greece; the rise of Twelver Shi'i Islam; Perisans, Azerbaijanis, and Kurds; family and the changing roles of women; education, pastimes, and celebrations; and Iranian foods.
