Flags of the World

Product Description

Waving in the wind, a flag may not seem like a code. But hidden in the stripes, stars, suns, moons, and colour of the worlds flags are the keys to understanding different countries shared histories and cherished ideals. Flags do much more than identify nations and groups of people. In every colour, pattern, and design, the citizens and governments of countries announce their allegiances and herald their history. If you know what to look for, flags can reveal major insights into another countrys background and culture. In this complete compendium of the worlds flags, each nations flag is paired with facts and tidbits of history. These flags provide a window into the traditions, values, and cultures of countries around the world.
