From ancient Egyptian culture to the medieval world, from Chinese dynasties to modern Africa, the Cultural Atlas for Young People set provides a systematic, cross-disciplinary overview of many of the world's important cultures. Young readers will learn not just about the geography and history of ancient peoples, but how geography and history interrelate and how they influence daily life, language and lore, and art and architecture. Through a brilliant integration of cartography, illustrations, and text, each new volume guides readers on exciting voyages through ancient towns and villages and inside homes and gardens to introduce the people, customs, and institutions of bygone civilizations.
