| Any book starts with a cover -- and in this case, the cover is completely misleading and thus fails not only its primary objective -- "one picture is worth a thousand words" -- but fails the book completely. The man depicted on the cover is probably either from Pakistan or Afghanistan, but definitely not from Azerbaijan. In fact, it is easier to spot a similar looking and dressed person in large cities in the UK and USA, than in Azerbaijan. It is unfortunate that such unprofessionalism creeps into books for American schoolchildren. |
