This book shows how people lead their daily lives in the Czech Republic, and then it takes a closer look at the city of Brno and the village of Nizkov. Brno is the second-largest city in the Czech Republic, with traditional cobbled streets and squares surrounded by modern high-rise blocks and factories. Nizkov is a small village in the Bohemian-Moravian Uplands, where the most important activity is farming. Using quotations and statistics given throughout the book, people's lives in Brno, Nizkov, and all over the Czech Republic, can be compared.
