Before 1989 the Czech Republic was governed by the Soviet Union and its people lived under Communist rule. In the years since 1989, when the Soviet Union ceased to exist, the Czech people have experienced great changes. The capital city, Prague, has become a leading tourist destination, and people have the freedom to work of themselves, and not the state.
However, the Czech Republic still has problems. The environment still suffers from flooding and pollution. Can the government rise to the challenge to control environmental issues? Meet the people of the Czech Republic and learn about the diversity of their lives, from an environmentalist in Cheb to a construction engineer in Olomouc.
'The Changing Face Of' series offers first-hand insight into how countries are changing to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Each title is filled with information and statistics about key geographical themes. Specially commissioned interviews give you a real sense of how people view the past, present and future of their home country.
