The Children's Atlas of Civilizations

Meer over het boek

This illustrated atlas introduces older children to all the major civilizations that predate our own, from the Sumerians to the Incas, the Assyrians to the Vikings. Readers can explore their art and architecture, social life and politics, religion and rulers through clear, concise text, photographs, and detailed artwork. On their way through the book they can also discover exactly what a civilization is, how pople lived before civilizations developed, and how archaeologists know so much about the cultures of the past. Full colour maps throughout the book chart the rise and fall of empires, and a time chart at the back makes it possible to compare the history of different civilizations at a glance.
