Learning about visual and literary arts can be an immersive experience, especially for those just starting to dive into journalism or poetry. Whether readers are looking to write a novel or design a flow-chart, these titles offer the means to get started.
Ancient history, early western civilization, and legendary warriors dominate this group of books. Though many of these sets present familiar, well-trod topics, several find appealing and interesting ways to attract and hold reader attention and will help students better understand the origins of their world.
Featuring effective strategies for helping students see the world and its people, these series take readers to some of the world’s most interesting locations, from Somalia to Lebanon to ancient civilizations and beyond.
Epitomizing creativity, talent, perseverance and hard work, and visionary, innovative ideas, the figures profiled in these series make excellent role models and provide stimulating reading and excellent classroom and assignment support.
Excellent.
Each volume introduces a civilization by covering a wide variety of
topics including origins, political systems, religions, and daily
life. Chapters are broken into subcategories, with numerous
sidebars, photos, illustrations, and maps adding detail to the main
narrative. The texts themselves are accessible without dumbing down
the information. There are four other spring 2015 books in this
series. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind. This review
covers the following Ancient Civilizations titles: Ancient
Maya, Ancient Rome, Ancient Mesopotamia, and
Ancient India.
With so many farm animal series already available—"Animals on the Farm" (Bullfrog) and "Pebble Plus Farm Animals" (Capstone)—these aren't necessary purchases.
