Ancient Art and Cultures
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.

Series Review: Ancient Art and Cultures"This series is a great overview of the life, times, and art of each period. Illustrations and photographs of artifacts attract the reader, and the descriptive captions explain additional details. Although each volume is written by different authors, the series format is consistent using the work of experts and bringing in influences from other places. An extremely useful purchase for school libraries, this series is valuable for world history studies."
