America the Beautiful. It just may be the most exciting country in the world. There isn't a food or face, language or lifestyle that can't be found here. All you have to do is look. But first, you have to know what to look for. Savor a bite of chocolate; you've sampled riches of ancient Mexico. Then it was a drink and a form of money. Take a long sweet slurp of ice cream; you've been to China. Popcorn? 5,600 years ago these kernels were known to the ancient Incas. Eat a hot dog or hamburger, anyway you like, you've got Germany to thank.

The ancestors of the Inca, Maya, Sioux, Algonquin and other Native Americans staked first claims here. The African mariner Prince of Mali sailed great ships across the Atlantic to South America. And in 1492, European explorer Columbus landed in the Bahamas. Celebrate! America. Celebrate! our Roots and Routes.

THE BOOK: An all-American tribute to more than 80 cultures! Flags of many nations, treasury of celebrations, regional maps, discover your family tree, keepsake crafts, puzzle, glossary...and more!

THE AUDIO: An all-American family album taped on locations from Maine to New Mexico. A Native American pow wow, New England family pilgrimage, pioneers rolling westward; African, Asian and Caribbean settlers.
