Multidisciplinary sets are a terrific way to engage reluctant readers and to entice students into approaching school subjects with enthusiasm. This set uses major works of art, architecture, and artifacts to reveal the history of ancient civilizations--both high and low, royal and commoner. Surpassing typical dry recitation of facts, figures, and dates, each book offers expert and updated historical information couched within an exciting visual narrative of each civilizations' culture, clothing, religion, food, politics, government, celebrations, and daily life. While excellent resources for reports and study projects within History, Social Studies, and Art, your readers will also covet these books for recreational reading.
