The Kingfisher Atlas of World History: A pictoral guide to the world's people and events, 10000BCE-present

Our Social Studies Guide for our 6th grade granddaughter

We found this book on our public library shelf and found it so useful in guiding our year of world history with our homeschooled 6th grade granddaughter that we bought two copies, one for her home and one for ourselves. The book supported my belief that geography and history are intimately entwined because the land inspires the activities, locations, way of living. The authors provide an excellent and easy to understand presentation of major events across the globe, divided into ancient, medieval, exploration and modern periods. This helped us to organize our time, our thinking and to keep a global perspective. The format was easy on our eyes, offered an appropriate perspective that highlighted human evolution in clear language and light hearted illustrations with a sense of each era in each geographic location. We trusted this text all year long. Kathleen Zmuda Read more
