For forty years of the twentieth century, Germany was a divided country. The peoples of East Germany and West Germany lived very different lives.

Meet the people of Germany and discover the diversity of their lives, from the environmental campaigner to the mine engineer.

Media Reviews
'One thing you can't accuse the authors of these books is talking down to the target audience. The books are written in a straightforward style ... But they go deeper than the geography lessons older generations had to suffer ... Here the authors have gone to speak to real people and let them tell what things are like in their country now, and in the past, in their own words ... These books are a worthwhile addition to any school library, or even municipal library, and at a more personal level could be of great value individually to young people.' -- Reviews online, October 2002
